Started this session by fitting the aeroscreen on the scuttle. Not as hard as I thought it would be. Took the time to also drill the four holes on the bottom that will bolt down to the chassis.
After this was done, trial-fitted the nosecone and marked for drilling the chassis near the headlights. Drilled the holes and then spent some time working on the electrics.
I believe I mentioned when I attached the headlights to the loom that it was temporarily done (butchered). These are now correctly connected to the loom with bullet terminals on the wires.
Also looked on how I'll do the indicators but did not start the work. The problem here is that, when I bought the car, there were indicators on the nosecone, the sides of the scuttle and the rear. Since then IVA rules changed a bit and now I need to have them on the nosecone, front wheel wings and rear. This means that the loom terminals near the scuttle must be abandoned and the ones in the front used for both nosecone and wings indicators. Since I don't have a big variety of connector types, I have to be a bit creative doing this. The plan is drawn, just need to do it before fitting the nosecone (for ease of access to the wires)
It was a good session and I'm eager for the next, since I'll end up with the nosecone on the car, if all goes well. Maybe even with the scuttle too!
