FH - head steadies

 A couple of hours in the workshop yesterday saw a few little jobs closed off. This was the worst:

Access is not easy, but the secret is a short open spanner.

The head steadies are now fitted with full size 5/16" nuts, which entailed lifting the rocker box (twice) to get them in.

Next up was the timing side footrest, which wasn't fully tightened up - doing that enabled the exhaust fitting to be completed on that side, with the exception of the finned clamp.

I fitted the speedo cable, to find that the locating pin in the gearbox was missing. The AOMCC gearbox man has them available.

I spent a while poking around under the instrument panel, where the ammeter has lifted out of the position and the cable routing is poor:

I've almost fixed these problems, but the ammeter is still out of position and the wire from the lighting switch to the dipswitch is too short; the feed from the ammeter to the indicator relay is badly routed and consequently too short, and the indicator relay terminals are almost impossible to reach.

The instrument panel is going to have to come off again.
