Fan temp switch,cooling hoses and car electrics complete

I have also recently bought a 32mm hose joiner with a pre welded boss in the top for the temp switch. I have fit this in to the top radiator hose and wired it according to the instructions. A quick check around of the coolant hoses was carried out,and clamps tightened where necessary.
One of the main jobs of the build was trying to incorporate the s2000 electrical components I to the build as well as the race technology dash and dta s60 pro ecu. So I took the car to Jdm Dyno to have the ecu fitted and wired in to the engine loom and decided to do my own loom for the car electrics,-and dash. I using the Honda steering wheel and switch gear for all indicators and lighting, but the lighting stalk switches the earth through a relay to avoid arching with a 12v circuit. I made up my own loom from 7 core trailer flex and ran one from the dash to the rear and 2 from the dash to the front and worked my way through each item one at a time before checking it worked and to my amazement every single item worked as it should first time.

Tunnel electrics fitted. Propshaft fitted and wheel speed sensor fitted




I think I am completely finished in the transmission tunnel area now. I have enclosed all the elecrtris in spiral conduit and p-clipped and riveted it at close intervals for a tidy and secure job. The fuel pipes also clipped with rubber edged p-clips to avoid any chafing.
The propshaft was then bolted in position and the wheel speed sensor fit in a position to catch 1 of the 6 bolt heads on the prop as they spin!
