Basically this is where it will be placed.
Bought some 1mm sheet aluminium and marked out the shape of the scoop.
The sheet will be used to hold the bonnet retaining bolts in place.
Cut a few wooden blocks to get the retaining ring in the right place. All the M8 bolts in place.
Perhaps not a good idea but I used expanding foam which I then trimmed with a knife.
Covered in filler and gelcoat. I'm not really happy with the results but in some ways it will be out of sight so doesn't really matter.
While that was drying I shortened the dash cables which I made way too long last year. They go to the lights, fog, heater and hazard switches. Much easier to remove the dash when the cables to the switches can be unplugged.
Not sure if I have already mentioned this but I found some great little connectors on Ebay. 50 MIXED HEAT SHRINK SOLDER BUTT TERMINALS. Just strip the two wires, poke them into the connectors so they both cross the solder ring and then heat with a heat gun. Four different sizes - brilliant!
Another job finished was removing rust from the foot well. Stripped the paint, converted the rust and then sprayed Hammerite. Will try and do a better job of sealing all the bolts and rivets that go through the floor this time.
