Rewiring started

I have now spent most of my recent free time on fixing up George.

The main change has been to relocate the fuel pump from the driver side bulkhead into the seatbox near the fuel tank. I made/lashed up/bodged, a bracket that loops around the chassis rail as I really don't want to start drilling more holes.

This frees up some space to allow me to place the new fuse/relay box there. I have also moved the washer bottle into the same area, it looks pretty nasty and is much better tucked out of the way. This is fixed with a loop of metal strip around the crossmember. Not a pretty solution but it will do for the time being.

While I was in the area I had a go at adjusting the fuel level float so that it actually floats and doesn't foul on the pick up pipe. Hopefully this will result in some sort of sensible reading on the gauge.

I have now started running the wires to create the new loom, I still need to buy a few bits but I should be able to make some headway in the next couple of weeks.
