When my replacement camera lens gets here I will post some pictures again, but I spent a bunch of time making all the oddball little steel brackets that hold the wire loom in place. A handy item when you are running loom,and they have them at Home Depot, they are heavy duty black wire ties with a plastic loop on the end. You locate your harness where you want it to go, zip the ties on at each securing point, and a machine screw fits through the hole on the tie. A lot of factory wiring looms have these,but I never expected to find them at the depot. A #10 machine screw just fits

What process are you guys doing to Polish your solid mounts?
And on that overflow, did you guys go for the 2"x10 or 3" one?

I've been noticing many people using a Ebay overflow tank, well I decided to get one also but have noticed that most of the overflow tanks have two spouts (where a tube would connect) now I know one connect to the neck of the radiator, but what connects to the other one? Do you just plug it up?

So if one wanted to do the hard line tuck for the clutch, would it be logical to make multiple lines and connect them using unions or just one line? And also, which particular bender would I need? Or do you just have to use different types of sockets to get the desired 90 degree bend from the cylinder to the frame?

You can use your imagination on that one. It's up to you how you wanna bend it or how it should look. Make sure we like it :-)
