Another day at the car! I started by re-doing the stupid mistake I had made last week, misunderstanding Nev's point about where the rear fog and reversing lights should go. Then I secured the rear lights and sealed them. Next I fixed the high level brake light properly having simply taped it last week - much harder than you would think. Finally I moved on to the demisters. Nev and his assistant had remade the dashboard in a much more robust sandwich material and covered it, plus making a removable insert.
You can see above how it fits. The demisters came from Car Builder Solutions and are really clever and very simple. They wire into the spare unfused yellow leads from the Sierra ignition barrel and can run hot or cold, pulling over 160W each. They have adjustable vents and can easily swivel / rotate to point downwards, so the one on the passenger side (photo on left) can be adjusted to keep the passengers' fe
et warm so long as I leave the space below clear. The switches are pre-wired and will have to be fitted behind the steering wheel being definitely not SVA OK. I also tidied up some wiring. Very productive day.
