I had a few things to do over the past couple weeks, but little time to get them done.

Have now replaced the rear-circuit brake master cylinder as it was leaking slightly inside the car, I guess it sat around to long in my garage before being fitted and used. Bled all the brakes, had not bled them since before Wakefield and although the pedal felt ok since that track escapade a fair few bubbles came out the front calipers. Pedal is a rock again now anyhow.

Re-positioned the seats by a few mm to stop them rubbing on the body and also raised by 10mm.

Re-fitted the harness to use the built-in chassis mounts (cut a hole in the rear bulkhead) instead of the rollbar cross brace, as they were a bit high to sit on the Hans device properly. Much better now.

Have changed the valves over on the wheels, as I did have nice looking flush mount valves but they were not practical to easily adjust pressures.

Tomorrow will wind up the shocks to 3/4 (up from 1/2) and take it a for a test, then on Monday it's off to Nathan for an alignment and she'll be ready to go.
