What should be going through these holes? Currently have the speedo cable through the small one. What about the larger hole? I have a feeling I'm missing something here as I do not see the harness running through the chassis.

The other thing that goes through the backbone is the e-brake cable but it goes through the ob-long holes further toward the front. I might have a few wires go through mine, I don't remember. Other than that, I'm drawing a blank. Maybe somebody who's been there more recently will have some ideas.

The field of view is too tight to see what part of the chassis you are referring to. Back up and take another photo with a wider field or say what part of the chassis we are looking at.

I had the same problem initially but the heater tubes were the giveaway to where he's talking about.

Just in front of the gear stick (shifter) about where the dashboard comes down.

Oil pressure pipe, from engine to gauge ?

Alex in Norfolk.

P.S. Just looked at a TCS. The only things that come out there are the speedo cable and the oil pressure pipe.

Here is a better picture.

Big milestone. First time I have sat in the car! Seats not the most comfortable, but planning some tlc that will resolve the experience!

Here are a few pictures of the body assembly with some images of how I went about it. (Single handed I might add.)

Looking good! How did she fit? Any issues going back together?

Lowering it off the blocks was a challenge with the frame underneath. Used blocks of wood and concrete blocks combined until it was low enough to get jack stands under the body. Took a while with small steps but got there in the end.

The frame is new so having to drill new holes once it's together.

Incidentally- what size bolts go in the front luggage area to frame? Anyone know off hand?

Also, the two fixes towards the front of the tunnel inside the car. I have no threads in the chassis, just bobbins in the fibreglass. How do these fixes work? Do I need to put nuts on the bolts inside the tunnel or are they self tapping??

Congratulations!!! Things are starting to come together! 

Not sure what you mean by 'fixes', and I don't remember the size of the bolts in the front trunk to the chassis, but I think they are 3/8". The biggest bolt that will fit in the bobbin in the body. On the TC there are a pair of them at the rear of the chassis. I expect that's the same as on the S2. Those are probably 3/8", too. Again, the biggest bolt you can fit in the bobbin. Oh, you'll probably have to buy a long drill bit for the holes in the front at least.

Here is a better picture.

I've attached a slightly better picture. As far as I can tell the large hole on the right is covered up by the body when installed. I can't see anything running through it, an unused hole?

[Paul_71]

Great thank you for the info. Ill leave it alone with a rubber Bing installed.

Next question:
What colour should this box be? Shown here in red.

[Paul_71]

That's a bung not Bing.

[Paul_71]

Can anyone advise me on the original colour? I'm guessing it wasn't red and should be black. (The other spare one I have is yellow so sending me in a spiral of doubt!)

Satin black
