Right fail today parts didn't turn up :( so no pay and play tomorrow and the fan like you guys said is pony :thumbdown:

Switchs done the switchs are set back so can't get pressed real easy.
Image
has 2 speeds for when i find a fan, wippers sorted washers sorted and horn :thumbup:

Image
light fitted its low down so it dosen't get in my view but still easy seen

Image i clean this bag of dry twings leaves etc out the back most of witch was between the exhaust and the petrol tank :smokin: don't no how hot the exhaust g3ets near the end but thought it was a safety mod :lol:

next plans find a free fan and fit, fit new stat, find a free/cheap temp gauge, and carry on with the other list of stuff :guns:
