Don't get me started about wiring, I have the M41, she is finished, model wise, but, that is still half way through a wiring job. Need to make repin some new connector plugs etc.

HI Jack im glad you are enjoying seeing her come to life as am i an i had it all planned out what i was goin to do on the wireing today but more frustrations have hit as yesterday with jens help i got quite few wires all connected up an was working on it for quite a few hrs but i think ive over done it as today my back injury is now playing up

so can hardly move as in quite a bit of pain an just took some pain killers hopeing they will ease it so i think im gonna have to have a rest day an see if it will ease off as last time i had this back pain it took 10 days to ease off an i dont want to have to wait that long to carry on Aaaaacccchhh always something stoppin me from workin on her might have a little go at tryin to solder some wires on the new plug system i made the other day but will see how it goes
but thanks for stoppin an havin a look see
ATB hope you are well
