Its still got another 8 hours left!
As you know the number of pulses, have you got it set to just pulse up until the known mileage and then stop? Although I suppose even if you overshoot, you only need to do an extra mile or whatever on the original speedo in order to keep things 'accurate'

It’s set to stop on a timer.Although I suppose even if you overshoot, you only need to do an extra mile or whatever on the original speedo in order to keep things 'accurate'
Just over 7 hours left. I’ll be watching it at the end though to get it spot on....

Looks and sounds glorious. Was that a Corsa tribute going the other way ?
In other news… turns out I had a squeak and a chirp.
Top mounts fixed the squeak.
The chirp is still there… new wheel bearing ordered.
Bearing seemed to pull off nicely, till I saw the inner race was still on the stub.
Had to take the grinder to my small pulley puller, to make it pointy-er. Then with some cable ties and mole grips the inner race came off.
New bearing on, went on lovely.
Brakes all back together.
Took the studs out of the old hub and they were copper greased in! Cleaned all that s**t off and re fitted them in the new hub with some loctite.
Hopefully give it a drive this week to see if it’s all fixed.

my criteria list:
As close to period correct visibly as possible
In that last pic, it may be in your garage having the wheel bearing changed, but it looks like it's just about to have a new set of slicks put on to go out and set a qualifying time at Le Mans. Truly evocative As close to period correct visibly as possible
