:thumbup: Yeh you nailed it, Franklin Performance adapter, they make so many nice bits and pieces. Uc10 dash fits like a glove, and I’m loving all the engine telemetry all in easy viewable location.

Did you take the thermostat out complete with the EWP? I done this on mine and was running cooler than I'd like also aye. I had debated adding an in-line thermostat or something to keep it at normal temps. Starting to be a good time of year for the meets and whatnot over there now aye! Mint :clap:

Yeh thermostat out. It’s warming up here now so should be okay for a bit. Had some rattles and annoying sounds in cabin when driving and hitting bumps on road. So got some tools and just started tightening and checking things. Seat bolts were a bit loose, seatbelts were rattling some annoying sound, so adjusted slack with some rubber washers. Noticed rear glass hatch hinge bolts were loose on left hinge so went about tightening them up and it just spins. Ordered some good cond 2nd hand genuine set of eBay hopefully they okay. Not happy with the state of the carpet so will put some $$ aside and order a new one to be made up, currently black carpet but thinking to go Dark Blue plush pile (cut pile) local sells for $450.
Lost one of custom oil caps I modified as used as a Centre cap for the wheels, so I chopped up a rotary oil cap
I had lying around and it came up a treat, will order another one and do same for the other side. Been heading out to a few cars and coffee shows on the weekends.

Let us know how the temps go when you've driven on some warm days aye

Looking so good there aye :o . I bet it's nice to just be sorting these niggly bits you can tinker on, rather than hard work on a car hahaha
