I returned to Jigsaw racing services on Monday where Alan provided some considerable knowledge in fitting the Spitfire Mk3 wiring loom. Although there are several lengths slightly out for our car at this moment in time it seems to be the best option available to us.
I have made contact with a local firm who will look at our schematic and see about producing a loom especially for the Gentry.
The new panels have arrived for the bonnet and are now being worked on in order to produce the final bonnet from which the master mould will be made.
The petrol tank cover has also arrived and will be fitted in the next few days. We have also received the doors and they will also be fitted next week.
The famous screen feet have come back from the foundry and have been chromed by Attleborough Metal Polishing of Oaston Road, Nuneaton. They took them in on Wednesday and I got them back today! Excellent service and certainly helps when you are fighting a deadline.
My right hand man Cliff is currently doing an excellent impression of Douglas Bader after having both knees operated on. He managed to get as far as the workshop today and claims to be coming back in next week to ensure that we are ready for the SVA test and then the launch.
See you all next week.
Geoff
