Job done! – 11th June 2011

All done & ready to be collected for it’s post build inspection on Monday.
Fitting the IVA trim & covers is mind numbing & fiddly. Assembly Guide leaves it until after you’ve done all the lighting before telling you that you should have installed grommets for the head lamp & front indicator repeaters in the wing stay & head lamp brackets :-{. By then it’s a bit late & they’re pretty well impossible to fit (even if you cut them) so ended up using amalgam tape at the bracket exit points. Hope this meets with the approval of the IVA inspector!
Tube for windscreen washer required a hole to be drilled through the bulkhead as there was insufficient space to slide it through the wiring loom hole. Replaced rear fog lamp bulb, checked fuse & wiring to the switch but still it refuses to function so added this to the post build inspection list for Caterham to have a look at. Broken plastic in lens suggests there might be internal damage.
