To correct my omission regarding the nose cone...

I am planning a fairly aggressive front wing for hill climb use to make sure I can ensure I have good turn in. I also wanted to have the nose cone hinge so that I can have access for service and repairs. I bought again from B&Q some heavy duty stainless door hinges which could be disassembled and the parts arranged to suit my needs. They were £20 but they work a dream. As my proposed front wing will be fitted to these mountings I used M8 bolts to make sure all the downforce would go through to the chassis without being lost in any flexing.

Next step is to bond the alloy strip with resin and matting to spread the load and stop the nose cone cracking where it is mounted.

I decided to leave the last jobs on the loom to focus on the cooling system and fitting the radiator. 
My solution is an Escort (OHV) radiator (back to my roots). Mine came from Dave Simms Automotive. They were helpful with accurate measurements and a reasonable price.

To mount the radiator I used some fine B&Q stair nosings alloy angle. This gave me a good start to develop the mounting.

This was as far as I wanted to go ahead of fitting the air cleaner and cooling fan. Having proved my concept I moved onto... The nose cone fitting. Clearly I had done this already but not put it in my blog!

With the fuel tank all fitted and both pumps working there was nothing left to do but add some fuel and give it a go. A quick look round and on with the ignition and crank and... it started! I was shocked. The engine quickly settled into a decent idle so I had a quick look round to make sure the ignition light went out and the rev counter worked and everything did! With no radiator and the exhaust blowing badly as it was held on by very few nuts and no gaskets I switched it off. I have to say I felt exceptionally happy after all the hours that have gone into the car it now sounds like a real one. After all the excitement it was back to the list of jobs?

As my car has the full cage fitting the throttle pedal and cable was more complicated by the large bracket which locates the cage at the base of the "A" pillar. To get clearance of the master cylinder reservoir and steering column I needed to move the top bracket on the pedal towards the middle of the car.

With this done I could drill the scuttle to fit the cable. I didn't want to cut or modify the standard throttle cable so that replacements would be easy and the reliability better. I developed from some alloy tube and alloy angle this solution.

Fitted it looks like this:

The pedal feel is good although I may end out with a small spring on the pedal to help with the return of the pedal. We will see.

With this job out of the way its more wiring to tidy up the loom to finish the job once and for all (Probably not).
