Excellent work on the dash panel... not so good on the heat gun
Have you it booked in for SVA/MOT?
Good work on booking the MOT!
For the speedo sensor did you put the pickup on the propshaft rather than the driveshaft like you’ve said? Hopefully the former as the driveshaft would give dodgy readings!
If you have any wheelspin at all then the speedo is going to show crazy speed that’s not your actual speed and therefore it isn’t advised. I’ve never seen one on a driveshaft before. For the Tiger I put the pickup above the flange where the propshaft goes into the diff and stuck the magnet to it and it worked 100% and passed SVA that way.
I've actually just remembered that Caterhams have the speed sensor on the drivers side driveshaftThe propshaft or diff flange would be best at it moves around less being rigidly fixed and won't change when you've cornering whereas the 2 driveshaft speeds will.

Rolled it out into the 'sunshine' and took a better one lol
Look at the wee grin, haha! Fair play Kev, must be the fastest kit car build in history! And it looks great in red, I wouldn’t change the colour at all. It goes well against the carbon splitter and the flared sides will really set it off. I would blacken the slats in the nose or even look to see if you could cut them out and mesh it instead.
Top job, best o luck for MOT!!
