Little bit of progress

Having a rolling chassis is nice, but having it rolling of the hoist is another thing (not that this has happened yet). So, a working handbrake seemed like a logical thing to do next. The original handbrake end-bracket was to small for the supplied handbrake cable. Adjusting it (by cutting a slot in it) did not seem a good idea, as it would create a very small contact area for the bit at the end of the cable.

In one of the drawers at speedon Mischa found something that could fit, and with a bit of effort, it indeed did.

(apologies for the blurry picture) With a bit of sanding on both parts, i.e. the cable and and the bracket, made it fit.

The ECU has arrived too with a nice semi-assembled harness. Now I need a handful of connectors and I should then be able to construct a complete harnes and finish that part.
