Auxiliary Control Panel

Simple job for a Saturday morning, took the opportunity to drill the holes and position the auxiliary switches into the lower instrument panel.

The beauty of the kitcar is each one is individual. I elected to fit the 12v socket, fog lamp and horn switches tot he panel but have for now left room for a starter button which i also fancy fitting (probably when Iva'd and on the road)

so with the switches selected and layout marked out on the panel, time to get to work with the stepped drill bit and carefully drill the holes not getting too carried away with drilling too much!! - little steps and keep checking until each switch fitted nicely through.

Clean up the swarf, remove the masking tape and hey presto holes drilled ready for the switches

S/S Back Panel Trim & footwell Trim

Grabbed a quick half hour on the car this afternoon, not wanting to get too engrossed in something overly complicated so looking through my Christmas presents Santa kindly left me and the back panel trim / footwell trim seem nice easy pieces to get fitted!

Apart from removing the protective film and cleaning up (which took all the time!) the rear panel trim is simply glued into position with the Polyurethane Sealant and clamped into position to ensure it nicely adheres to the panel.

Provides a nice neat finish to the back panel

Same goes for the footwell trim - these need some filing and trimming to ensure a nice tight fit over the chassis frame but once in place they grab the carpet and will not move anywhere fast!
