3. Wiring up the steering wheel to house buttons for left/right indicator, main light and horn. Four buttons, three with LEDs mean a LOT of wiring here. Am using a spiral wire harness to get all these wires into the rest of the car's system.

4. Since I could now temporarily place the scuttle, I could place the bonnet and nose cone, and thus find out how much space there is above the intake manifold - here's the result. The rubber pipe represents the height at which the bonnet lies. PLENTY of space.
