I would run the main rear loom inside convoluted sleeving through the tunnel, plenty of fixings, then exit to the rear wheel area, then penetrate through to the socket on the inside. You could then branch off to fuel pump and sender using expandable braided sleeving, inside and over the top. Or, kee...

Re: Fuel pump / sender wiring

Does your loom have a rear termination point for plug/socket for lights?
Pic would help.

Archie recommended some triangulation in the side ladder, now executed.
Also visible, the strut strengthening rear door post & top rail. Eagle eyed will spot, when zoomed in, vertical strut from r/h side of tunnel to dash support rail.

Clarissa started as a new-build with a bare metal chassis, easier to develop than stripping out an existing build and gav...

Re: Stahlbus bledder valve

Nice tip Hans.
I've found an easy way to bleed front brakes.
Remove the caliper from it's mounting, brake line intact, place a spacer same thickness as disks between the pads.
You then have sensible access to the bleed nipple.
