Good evening folks

I promised some more pictures of progress so here goes.

Second hand dash rail cover on for a trial fit & the gear linkage in place

Managed to wire up some tunes

Bit more playing around with the LED's for under the dash

Blue on with the ignition & white wired into the courtesy light circuit.

Got the driveshafts fitted & whilst I was playing around underneath I thought, it'll never look this clean again !!

Regained its identity also.

Careful marking of the led number plate lights

And some double sided pads to hold the plate on

Finally...........................

It's back on the ground - Yipeeeee!!

Really pleased with how it sits. The front suspension is settling a little now and there's some more adjustment available on the rear.

Exhaust to be purchased this week and I have won a complete interior, for not a lot, off good old fleabay to put in for testing & mot purposes.

Few more bits were done also over the weekend but as usual, I'll update those as we go.

Might, just might........................ hear it running this coming week.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks for looking

Regards

Steve

I've ordered a Maniflow LCB & twin box system. Not ideal for the 998 but it will be more suited to the 1275 when it goes in eventually.

MS North had no stock so they have sent it from London for me. Should be here tomorrow.

It's Alive !!!!!!!!!!!!


Fitted the new Maniflow exhaust & manifold, (superb fit - glad I paid the extra)

Sorted a fuel leak, and after fitting some new plugs and a make shift choke cable, I nervously turned the key.

Sprang into life first go!! Sounded great and to say I'm chuffed is an understatement.

More detailed update to come soon

Cheers

Steve
