16th July 2009 - Baggage Compartment Complete

I spent time yesterday and today fitting the baggage compartment sidewalls, roof, and rear panel into place and drilling the support angles to fit 44 spire clips which take the mounting screws. The side, rear and roof panels will eventually be covered in cloth or vinyl fabric, the floor will be carpeted.
Next job is to layout and drill the firewall and build any required supporting structure. The second picture shows the items that mount to the firewall. Top left to bottom right they are:
Battery box
Master Solenoid
Starter Solenoid
Fusible link mount for alternator protection fuse
Brake reservoir
Vacuum regulator (vacuum air filter missing from picture but also to be mounted)
Sensor manifold for oil pressure and fuel pressure
Cabin air control box
Electric fuel pump
Gascolator (fuel filter and drain valve)
Gascolator mount

In addition firewall penetrations are required for:
Primer Lines
Power Cabling
Sensor Cabling
Throttle Control
Mixture Control
Carburettor Heat Control
