The day didnt start well... I'd been wondering about the torque on the rear bolt that attaches the radius arm to the Dion tube. Sent a picture to Derek & he confirmed it was 81nm (which is not really what the manual suggests) but he also pointed out I needed two chamfered washers, one each side... I scurried to the manual & this is not even mentioned... Derek agreed to a photo spot the ball on my set up to make sure nothing else has slipped the net. Soon discovered that I'd also left off 4 washers from the Dion tube on one side A silly mistake which I quickly rectified. I then got the thumbs up from Derek that my install seemed correct... In the meantime had an e-mail from Jerry Brown asking if I'd noticed the earth connection to the fuel tank... eeeerrr no...quick check & there it was jammed down inside the chassis. Had to take the floor out again so I could connect... couple hours of work & I was back to where I thought i'd got to yesterday....

So apart from re visiting stuff:

Exhaust: Silencer now on & very nice it looks to!

Lamda sensor: all connected up. Used a couple of cable tie pop riveted anchors & my new Maplin cable protector

Battery: Put the battery back in. Briefly connected it up just to see if there would be a massive spark & all my fuses explode but the only thing happened was a whirring noise from the back. I can only assume this is the fuel pump but I was surprised it started up without the ignition being on... e-mail to Derek

Garage: Tidied up my work area...Picked up the accumulation of litter & snipped cable ties in the garage, it was descending into chaos & I couldn't find stuff...

So another day has successfully passed without me starting the engine! but I really have run out of tasks that I can claim need to be done... so tomorrows the day... once Derek has confirmed the whirring noise is normal, just need to get some petrol...
