Been getting through some more of my job list recently.
I sorted the horn wiring. For some reason I wasn't getting continuity between the relay and the horn switch so the horn was constantly on. Not sure why, but the wire goes through the airbag unit. Luckily I had threaded a few wires through my loom so I used one of the spares and bypassed the airbag unit.
I also sorted the reverse light. It took me a while to find the correct B/Y wire, but it's all sorted now.
I fitted my new straight terminals to the ignition leads and fitted them. I had planned to run the wires behind the headers for a nice tidy look, but decided against it. There was no point risking them melting and they aren't too unsightly in the normal location.

Next was fitting the rad, cowling and intake.

As always is the case with things, each time a sort a problem another arises. In this case the top rad hose doesn't really fit. I have ordered a 135 degree hose in the hope that I might be able to use two to form an s-bend.

I tried to fill the diff with oil but it turns out the drain plug has fused to the diff bastard! I haven't tried heat yet, but I am letting it soak a little first. Hope I don't have to piss about ordering a new rear cover.
I figured out why the reverse lockout wasn't working. I completely overlooked the fact that the ECU isn't getting a speed signal. So now I have to wire my Dakota Digital to the VSS and ECU input so that I can configure a speed input that can then be used to trigger the VSS lockout below 5mph.
SO what's left to do?
1 - custom exhaust
2 - heater piping
3 - Sort diff plug
4 - wire vss
5 - wire traction control (maybe after it's on the road)
6 - Plug gauges in (want to finished painting them first)
7 - fire it up and let it warm up so that I can let HP EFI do it's magic
