    DMB graphics ltd. The kit is prone to bubbles and the material seems prone to scratches, I think a few washes and the kit will be scratched to pieces. We have been in touch with DMB to supply a quote for the decals to be made out of a user freindly wrap material since they already have a good pattern using different material should be easy enough provided they get the Cosmos blue colour correct, wrap is so easy to apply even I could do it apparently... So watch this space.

    Hmmm... that's a shame, I was hoping to get the same kit from them in the graphite grey colour. But if it's not great quality then I wouldn't want to spoil the soon-to-be-done new paintwork with it :-(

    Some lovely neat touches there, Wayne. I especially like the hose clipped to the top of the box - should stop any chance of it rubbing too!

    The two best places for aftermarket heating/cooling stuff that I've found are www.T7design.co.uk and NFAuto (now www.carbuildersolutions.com). I've had stuff from both and can't fault them. Carbuildersolutions is a goldmine of useful replacement bits, switches, electrics, seals and various bits that you might use to build a kit car - or repair an old Ford!

    IMG_4932.jpgIMG_4933.jpg I opted for the 3.5kw light weight modular heater... Also as Megatron says... Car builders solutions is an excellent company too (free catalogue) full of loads of great solutions to niggling problems..

Electrickery is complete apart from hooking up the messing about with the L8 ECU which is a black art so will probably be sent off to MSD for expert assembly of the black box of tricks..IMG_4958.jpgIMG_4959.jpgIMG_4960.jpgIMG_4961 (1).jpgIMG_4962 (1).jpgIMG_4964 (1).jpgIMG_4965 (1).jpgIMG_4965.jpgIMG_4967 (1).jpgIMG_4967.jpg

    A bit of bumf... on the mil spec wiring used on my car...
    https://www.fclane.com/sites/default...ort%202014.pdf
    if the above link doesn't work just go to www.fclane.com and download the catalog titled Souriau motorsport.
    They were taken from my phone so I apologise if the quality is crap...
    anyway here's a few tasters from the catalogue.IMG_4969.jpgIMG_4970.jpgIMG_4971.jpgIMG_4972.jpgIMG_4973.jpgIMG_4974.jpgIMG_4975.jpgIMG_4976.jpg
