After yet another session of staring at the mini I thought it a good idea to check the tank didn't interfere with the loom.... the original filler neck was in the way. Out came the hack saw and off came the filler neck, left a nice stub to take the original foam washer so the tank does not squeek against the wing. Then after a lot of double checking it all went to my friends work shop where I ground a funky angle onto the filler neck and drilled a new hole in the tank. My friend welded a plate over the old hole and then welded on the revised neck.
Re painting has been a little trying, tiny contamination, sanded it back. Re sprayed in my garden and 10 min later my neighbor accidently sprayed it whilst water his garden!! Pot marks all over it. It is re sanded and waiting for paint to turn up
This afternoon I plucked up enough courage to look at the wiring again. Fresh eyes has found a slightly better route for the loom and drilled a hole, fitted grommet and the loom is in place and running on the floor pane.
Drill died so cant drill the next hole. But attacked a spare loom for wire, protective sleeving and fittings. Starting to feel a bit more comfortable with this wiring business, some might not be looking at this :)
