just cut and soldered the rest of the wiring and fitted it in a length of split conduit with proper loom tape still to cut the battery tray and make a proper bracket for the ecu
i've also gone back to the rikspeed air filter think it looks a better size and fits the gap
had to put some more oil in the charger its drank the 1st 100ml its my own fault for fitting rubber seals in the case and not viton the rubber has melted and is now letting oil out hehe

I still can't believe you managed to keep the battery in the bay in it original position (well near original position lol)

Well done for doing it though as it looks more OE that way (y)
