Thanks for the good word everybody.

Tom: Man you aint kiddin' right there. This kit has challenged pretty much ALL of me engineering bases. lol

Well gang. Over the course of the last week I've been at it again as far as engineering goes. I chucked up several of these pins that I have in the drill and ground the ends against a file to reduce the diameter of the pin heads.

Then I all of them down to the same length:

And here they are test fitted into place. Just gotta paint them semi gloss black and they'll be good to go and prepped for the wire install. (Part of what's been stalling this is waiting on the correct color of ignition wires to arrive in the mail which happened yesterday so forward we go) ...
