Had to go south to Miami area earlier last week to bid a final farewell to my father in law. He'd been ill for some time, Herself ran down a day before he passed (Friday) and I drove down Monday to be there for services and Tuesday for the interment. Tapped to be a pall bearer, some of the worst duty I've pulled in a while.
As "therapy" leading up to this inevitable event I got off my butt, put in new door cards and panels (Moss Motors "sale") and finally fabricated a center console for Her MG, replaced the center speaker with a panel holding a voltmeter and a clock (thanks to Nisonger!), three switches below those to control an electric fan (over-rides the thermal switch on the rad.), a switch-over between the standard horns and a set of air horns and a switch to turn on a set of courtesy lights under-dash independent of the lighting circuit. Set up a bracket to hold five relays under the bonnet, horns, driving lights (2) and cooling fan so-far. It took my mind off of the coming family tragedy.
