So after being a happy bunny at work getting home with some goodies in need of cleaning and fettling was great.
Also picked up another right hand indicator to fit with the new front bracket so that's rewired and on.

Out in the garden I wiped down carefully the exhaust with wd40 and fine wire wool and got the tape off and a lot of engine road dirt from the front of the aluminium.

I am not going to dress them up and just leaving them as they are with odd scrapes as it matches the other side. I can use my good pair whenever I need for track days but these are the icing on my monster cake.

My next job was attack the speedo I also bought today. It was dirty that's all and just needed careful cleaning and taking apart carefully and a slight repair of one of the rubber mount bolts which had separated from itself so some glue sorted that out. I replaced the black aluminium frame for one that Bluprintz gave me a few weeks ago that had no scratches or chips on it.
The very fact that it has more miles on it is worth swapping as the idiot lights Perspex much brighter and clearer.
I replaced the back nuts and washers for bright ones from mine.

Cant wait to get exhausts on now but that's weeks away.
