That is Bad Ass Vince!
Way beyond what I was expecting. My hat is off to you mate.
Oh, I want to see it so bad.
Gutted about that battery though. Before I ordered it I emailed the guy and stated, "The battery that sits on the RHS as I look into the engine bay from the front." By the look of it he has completely ignored me and sent the RHS battery.
I can order you the right one and have it sent asap to save you any hassle with the wiring.?

No it's OK mate, I've sorted it. Looks a lot neater now too.

Added all the fluids today and cranked engine over to circulate the oil and coolant. Gauge was showing 42 psi of oil pressure before oil started leaking from one of the unused ports on the sandwich plate on the filter head. (My adapter plate didn't leak though)
No coolant leaks though, so a bit of fiddling tomorrow then put some unleaded in the tank and see if it fires up.
Was it a dodgy blanking plug on the sandwich plate causing the problem or is it something completely different? Do you think it will be easy enough to sort mate or be a right basta*d?
Is 42psi about where it needs to be? Adaptor plate is A1 then

It's leaking from one of the blanking plugs. It's a sandwich plate I bought last year to fit to my truck but never did. You need one as I've got three sensors to fit into it, oil pressure/oil temp/oil pressure light. It's probably just a case of wrapping a bit of thread sealer on the plug.
I've just ordered a back-up plate just in case this one is fubarred.
42 psi had built up just from cranking the engine. Around 80 psi is the normal running pressure.
These SPA gauges are very bright, do they dim when the truck lights are switched on? I haven't fully installed them yet and didn't notice an extra wire to splice into the lighting circuit. (I have a solution if they don't dim.)

Yeah, I noticed they where quite bright when I switched one of them on back home. All I know is the backlight brightness can be adjusted up and down in the settings.
