build diary

November 29, 2004: Well, some of the wiper bits I wanted arrived today.
They're from a Series III Land Rover, but it appears that the outer diameter of the wheelbox is greater. This means I can't use the nice Midget angled bits that I have. No worries, there are a set of MGB wheelboxes on the way which should complete the set. Weird parts from everywhere.

No new progress on the tach front, but I have been looking at the oil pan. I think I'll cut 1" off the bottom and possibly add an Accusump to the system. It's not going to be an easy job as the pan is cast aluminum (time for some good cleaning!) and there's no simple cut to be made. Still, it'll give me some needed ground clearance. Luckily there are extra pans around the Flyin' Miata shop so I can do this without having to take the car off the road. Well, if it stops snowing anyhow.
