How the heck do you...

do any work in the cabin without suffering a claustrophobic panic attack?

Now my shoulder injury has eased, am wanting to fix a couple of things, but contortionism isn't my strong suit... sheesh

Have you fixed your “problem” with the high beam. Just to say on my early GTR, the button on the dash is purely for headlamp flash so is not a locking switch. The dip switch is foot operated and is next to the clutch pedal!

Interestingly, noone had mentioned a foot operated switch, and i didn't see one, so i will need to go back and have a look. Thanks.

So no, had not fixed that yet, i was building a list of things that i might need to order along with the relay, so i could get it all in one go.

The odometer fades in and out, so cannot always read the mileage. Although not an MOT problem, the factory had said it would need to go back for investigation, so i thought i would do it before the good weather comes. They also said i should be able to easily remove the binnacle...
Apart from wiring, a metal plate, vent hoses and other things that appeared to be in the way of even getting to the binnacle fixings!

Also the belt slack from the Willans harness buckle is caught in the seat runner, limiting the seat movement and buckle adjustment.
If noticed, that would be an MOT failure, and if i remove it and it is damaged, then it is definitely a failure, so i will need to locate a replacement for that.
Limited space again means it might be easier to remove the seat and runners, but the bolt heads underneath have been affected by ground impact damage, so i need to get the car raised to get a proper look.

I had to give up on all counts on Sunday, as i had limited time as well. So will be better prepared next time i attempt these things...
Was also nervous about triggering my shoulder having just recovered from injury, so a bit of a rubbish attempt this time.
Will have to find a willing child to send down into the hole

That certainly looks much easier to manage.

If the top of the dash is not fixed to anything, then it should be possible to make that top and front cut, to do a similar things on an already installed dash?

Although definitely not as easy as it would be during the build process.

Some good ideas and variations in there, thanks for the pics.

Certainly looks more useful for working in there, but for now, i will just have to learn how to fold myself up and bend in directions i haven't done before
