I wasn't going to work on the Tunebug tonight, but at about 8pm I was feeling restless and decided to do a little bit of work. An hour and a half later and a few more things were moved over to the "done" category!
First up was a simple install of the new velocity stacks I got from Hap. I hadn't been sure that the included bolts were the proper ones, but a but of reassurance from Hap and a few moments with my tap set to clean up the threads saw the bolts fitting properly and the velocity stacks installed. I'll be ordering the proper air filters in the next few days.
In a classic while-I'm-in-there momement I decided to hook up the rest of the wiring (and removed the cable to the starter as a precaution). Once the wires to the bonnet were reconnected it was time to put in the key and see if the lights still work. With only one misconnected wire to fix I was back in the light! I've got headlights (high and low beams), turn signals, rear running lights, and wipers.
The horn isn't working properly, so that's the next thing in line, hopefully on Thursday. With those little projects cleared away it's time for the first big one -- bleeding the brakes and clutch. If those go well, then I'm golden. If not... send lots of positive vibes my way!
