Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

[banpei]

Yesterday I fabricated a shorter bracket:

Stupid me didn't wear gloves, so I both cut myself and burned my index finger, and only then did I regret not wearing gloves.

This morning I fitted the bracket:

It appears to fit nicely, but in reality it didn't...

When making the bracket shorter, as it's under an angle, it will also retract inwards:

It's clear the cover can't open as it's now too close to the bumper (which is also under an angle), and the bolt at the bottom touches my front lip. So I cut and burned myself for nothing.

This afternoon, I fabricated another bracket that is a copy of the Cibie prototype I made earlier.

I also had a look at the fusebox:

The fusebox is missing pins for the fog lights that are present on the kouki fusebox. I used the multimeter to see if I made an error, but unfortunately, there is no pin connecting to the other side of the unused fuse. This means I'll have to modify the fusebox after all, so get it out and add a bunch of wires to it.

I'm now toying with the idea to simply abuse the cigarette lighter as it's easily accessible, and if I can find the right connectors, I can just create a piece of wiring that fits between the connector and the lighter.
