7/02/01 Okay,
well the last update was to take out the unnecessary stuff in the
wiring harnesses. Well, as fate would have it, there is also a
lot of work to be done to route the remaining wires, tie them up,
cover them with plastic conduit...you get the picture. So, we
have been working on wiring for about a month, but it has all turned
out very well. It was our moral obligation to take the
cobra out for another go cart ride, and what a ride it was! | ||||
 Now does that wire go here... or there? |
|
 William worked for a few days to lay out the dash the way he wanted it. |
 This is the final layout of our dash. It took about one night to wire it up, and double check to make sure everything was correct. |
 We were ready to go put this in the car and get everything connected. |
 Although in the picture it doesn't really look like it, the wires are actually routed pretty neatly. |
|
 William mounted the driver seat. We got the adjustable track so I would be able to drive it too. I'm just testing it out to make sure I can touch the pedals... No problem! |
 Now we have the dash, seat, and steering wheel in place. It looks pretty good! |
 Driver's side view of the cockpit. Notice the duct tape that is holding the dash on the left side... |
 I am not sure if this is the right place for it, but for anyone who is going with power steering, this is the belt number we had to use. It took about 3 trips to Napa to get this right. |
|
 Of course with seats installed, we had to take it out for another ride. Here is the proof of our journey...(William left 2 sets of tire marks on our street) |
 It was at 2nd gear and spinning the wheels that I realized..."Hey seat belts are a pretty good idea!" But that's just me... |
Well, it's been a month of working on wiring, and installing seats, and a lot of other small things. We are still having a great time with it, and hope to be finishing it up soon! |
