Well since I have got back from Stoneleigh I have done a few jobs....after the frantic work the week before the show it was nice to have a rest.
The temp gauge has been sorted by fitting the 32mm adaptor from Rally Design. Only down point on this item was the fact there was no allowance for an earth, so I drilled a small hole and put a self tapper into it. Adaptor was fitted into the top hose with the Pinto temp sender. Run out the weekend showed the gauge sat nicely in the middle of its span.
Also dealt with the speedo. Drilled a 25mm hole just forward of the original one in the drivers side of the tunnel...once I had removed carpet, false floor, etc! I didn't build it to come apart..... Cable clipped back into gearbox and the speedo was working again. Just need to suss out the alternator light wiring to stop it being on all the time.
Next job is to refit the boot, tidy up the engine bay wiring and fit an expansion tank. Have also just received some 32mm silicone top hoses and a new windscreen washer bottle which will be fitted shortly.

Very Interesting Read. I'm getting a 2B next week (part finished project with no engine). Toying with the idea of fitting a zetec instead of the pinto. Keep the posts coming!
