The whole rib gets a rewire and the lads break out some very serious looking battery cables, they unwind the whole drum and then thread the two ends from the engine to the console, when these tails are the right length the looped end is cut to size at the engine so there is no wastage, very impressive

Thank goodness for Biffer's hose

A very special thank you to gecko who donated a brand new visor to our Mac Rib project to complete the brand new matt black mk10 mill spec gecko that was donated by an anonymous person on here. Awesome donations

Nice one MustRib for sorting the Visor

1.30 and no photos? It seams I left biffs on thurs with a few key components...

I'll post the windscreen bolts back Monday morning !!

Oh, PS the boat looks better in the flesh than I imagined. It's a truly one off peice of craftsmanship and anyone who can really must see it in production or at the launch.
