not much progress tonight as did'nt get to do any work till nearly 8pm so could'nt make much noise. got cowling fitted round steering column, which was lucky it fitted as its at a different angle,  sorted steel out for brake flexi supports, and hunted for washer bottle holder without success. also found out i've got wrong wiper blades, they don't fit onto the arms, but i've got a plan to get over that(fingers crossed) as they're stainless an not cheap.
