A few smaller jobs, including exhaust wrapping, sensor fitting and cable oiling ahead of fitting the water thermostat that I finally received today.

The landing lights come with a couple of spade connectors that need to be crimped on…

and then slipped into the connector block. I’ll need to do the same thing when I come to install the LEDs into the wing.

The MAP sensor is fitted to the firewall in a suitable position making sure that the plug don’t foul one another.

The space between the water bottle and regulator seems to work well.

The front exhaust pipes covered in exhaust wrap and secured in place with stainless steel ties.

There’s several cables that need to be installed later in the build. Unlike the throttle cables these aren’t lined so require some lubrication.

Received at last! Good ol’ Parcel Force have had this since the 5th March but never left a card. It’s lucky I asked for an update on delivery from Silent Hektik otherwise I’d still be waiting. This is the 3rd time Parcel Force have completely screwed up on a delivery to me – I will never use them again!
