Finished wire prep for console stuff, transcover USB ports & installed a new Satellite antenna for GSP instruments. Moved bailout fire extinguisher to rear bulkhead from old position on the trans tunnel cover.

Grandson lent me his Bunny to help out with the work.Next is install oil pan then the new clutch. Once the clutch & transmission are in will go back & finish the interior.

Got a PM question about the console wires. They are longer than necessary to just make the connections. I built the display items so I could remove two console to tunnel frame screws. Then slide the console back along the tunnel cover. Then remove 4 dashboard to under tray screws & drop the dash.

Old Dash

The electronics controlling the engine have some fused components in a box attached to the firewall behind the dash that can require service. The console wires get coiled, lightly secured with ZipTies & fill the dead space behind the Pioneer 4200.
