Servais Engineering made his first YouTube video featuring the work on my engine case. Enjoy!

Finally got the correct sticker for the Tach. Fitted two on top of each other and folded the ring around the frame.





The sleeving has bothered me as i dont really care for the look. I replaced it some something new and fresh. All it needs now is some heat-shrink tubing on each end.







Looks better than before in my opinion. Before/After:






Under the Tach is the latest prototype bracket. Spring has come to Sweden so i feel like it is time to get the ragtop out and test fit thing thing. If it fits i'll 3D-print it in a durable material like ASA. In black of course.

Big improvement, subtle and sharp. The braid for the wires also looks much better and being fabric is kind of a nod to the antiquity of our cars when all wiring was cloth covered  Cool
