Had a couple of hours on the car this morning.
Did the CV boot. Hopefully that's that.
Got the headlining out, used a very useful guide from this forum. Saved approximately 0.000000001g doing that. Frenchies weigh feck all and come apart very easily.
Cleaned up some contacts on the alternator to stop the battery light flickering - a common Saxo issue as the connector wears and fatigues over time. Looked at options for lock wiring it in place. There doesn't seem to be any. Shame.
I'll probably pull the rest of the carpet and pax seat out ahead of fitting the cage at Gareth's.
I have a Motordrive seat for this now. It was cheap, but has some MG related badging. Meh. I also have some Sparco tailored frames, but no side mounts as yet, so that is a non-starter at present.
I have some Goodridge lines on their way, so I'll try to get them on before Brands.
All go in Saxo land!

So the to-do list...
Anything with a * is a must do before Brands in Dec
To do:
Do a high-speed run - confirm that balancing has solved high-speed vibration experienced at Goodwood*
Fit braided hoses
New brake fluid for the above (obviously)
Get some side mounts
Acquire final part of the gear change linkage
Fit new linkages
Book in and do the cage fitting with G*
Decide whether I'm happy with harnesses with a 4 point cage (was happy with that in my Caterham, so probably will be)
Live with it for now:
Look at electric mirror switch (prob needs replacing, can adjust mirror externally anyway)
Coolant flush
