I continue to feel very enthusiastic about my build. I did wonder if I might start to lose interest over time but I have not. Its been a long time since I have wielded a spanner in anger so find myself really enjoying myself.

With the bulkhead in place I decided to complete the installation of the fire extinguisher system. This came from Sparco complete with all the fittings including two tightly coiled aluminum pipes. 

The fitting of the bottle was easy enough, 8 x M6 bolts and it was done. It fits nicely in front of the newly arrived seats. I am unsure how the IVA examiner is going to view all this but if necessary I can take it out for the examination day.

With regard to the seats, I got them from JC Composites. I dealt with Jordan who was very helpful and did what he said he would do and delivered on the day he said. Much impressed and pleased with the seats.

Anyway, I am pleased with my plumbing. I just have the rest of the engine bay to fit once I have the air intake sorted..










I have also started the wiring ahead of the new loom arriving. I have tried to think ahead of all the electrical kit I need on the car so that I can hopefully make up the loom and not have to adding the parts I had forgotten.
