It's always great to hear them go the first time. I had a similar problem the first time I was starting my jimmy up. No clutch, but the neutral safety switch was not plugged in. For some reason I thought it would be louder. It actually sounds pretty tame, should make an excellent sleeper.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
How hard is it to run the wire bundles through the mesh tube? Looks great. One of those jobs you want to get done soon after starting so you don't forget where you left off weeks ago.

I must have forgotten the reason for the second dash cluster. Are you driving the instruments from one to the other or is that just an opticle thing?

Nice work on the wiring. Where did you get the weatherpack firewall pass-thru and terminal ends? I need something similar.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Dang, with all those fancy toys, the wiring SHOULD be a piece of cake! With all the fancy tools, I'm shocked you don't have a LOCKING hemostat! String? REALLY??? ...which reminds me, gotta get me one o' those!
I noticed you are doing the wiring before painting. Judging from your past work I guess you will be removing it all before painting... |

It locks ...and will crush the insulation at the first locked position. And it's not a low-tech string ...it's a hair-tie
