You'd be a decorated Brigadier. I'll pm Zboyd and see what we can do. :D
For the record man flu should never be under estimated. I've cheated death twice.
Thats some serious work going on there tomorrow.
 
Looking good mate.

I refitted my cooler 1.5 inches lower to fill the bumper a little more.

Also allows you too keep towing eye.
 
also if tomorra goes aswell as today then i think it will be running!

Push the gearbox shifter by hand as far as it will go anticlockwise (assume fourth) then put the cable end on to suit.

Work the up/down shifter to the middle by hand (neutral) then put the cable end on to suit.

Then adjust slightly as needed. Remember it's all mirror image, because the gearstick base turns it all the 'wrong' way.
 
thanks for the info people
my 1st go at heatwraping, im really pleased with it
