I now have all the steering system hydraulics fitted. Flow and return pipes have been run from the steering pump to the ram and with the help of my wife turing the wheel to order the system was filled and bled. Here is the helm pump. I have removed the wheel again as its sure to get damaged.
I have also fitted the an external 13a socket, the 16a power inlet, 12v switch panel, locker doors and the red bit is the megga loud alarm sounder.
Sam the canopy maker came again today to start the final fit. This has enabled me to finally get the big tempory cover off. Whist it has done a stirling job the constant noise of it russtling in the wind has really irritted me. So..........

Finally today another delivery of furnature to finish off the kitchen and for the bedroom. Once again it feels like things are moving again.
Its strange how it goes, you seem to be working and nothing seems to get done, then in a couple of days all the prep comes together in a big way.
Sam is back on Friday to put the final fittings on the cover.
