June 1st 2018 Update - waiting for the finishing kit
Since last post I've mostly been doing a few odds and ends - finished up the fuse kit by installing the control sticks and wiring harnesses for these: I added extensions which I connected using dsub pins with shrink wrap. This made it easier to get the wires to the sticks. Worst part of Van's design I've found so far: it is IMPOSSIBLE to route the stick harnesses with molex connectors in place through the structure from tunnel to sticks as Van's prescribes. Even getting the bare wires through there is very hard. It's an insanely tight space to work it and the angle is very hard to make. (Rant over).
Finish kit should be here in a couple of weeks, excited to get that going.
