Replaced the perished sections of rubber pipe in the vacuum pipework to the multirams - they now work properly again.

Oh, and currently trying to do an SMG relearn on the M3, only that bit isn't playing ball..

Took the Kwaka for an MOT.

Now need to decide whether to fix it, or scrap it.

I'm tempted by latter, but suspect I'll never ride another bike  :'(

Fixed the alternator. Bearings in the 2nd hand one had dried out a bit on the shelf, so swapped the regulator out of that into my old one. Will refurb the other as a spare.

Thought about washing it then thought no.. "when you've learnt to behave". >:(

Planned the routing for the Lpg loom, not 100% certain on where the ecu will go, certainly osf corner, but I didn't pull the bumper off, so undecided whether I'll need to remove the compressor to feed the plug through  :-\ Bumper will be coming off anyway :-X so will have a good look then :y

I've extended the piggyback loom and added the large plugs to simplify that, and have extended the loom to the engine ecu and fitted a plug to the reducer temp sensor. :y

Tomorrow I be making brackets for the injector rails...

There is a hole in the in the metal work for existing wiring to run through under the air box,  that the quite large loom plug will fit through. I didn't remove the bumper on mine, jack car up, feed loom through, attach ecu to plug, bolt ecu to wheel arch liner. (or make brackets to bolt onto the sl compresor mounts, this does need bumper off though) Done.
