Actually the little trespassers were not squirrels but mice. So I don't have to worry about the soffits . The electrician wiring the new house gave me a tip for dealing with the mice.

Not only do Hoosiers make better racing wheels, they also make better mouse traps!  :cheers:

When wrenching in a HD shop a fellow brought in his big rig in the spring when it wouldn't start or even light the lights. After pulling the shroud off the gas tank there was momma mouse's skeleton with paws and jaws clamped on the hot wire and the little baby skeletons all curled up in the nest so 12VDC with a good ground works just as well!  Organic fuse? :cry: :cheers:

Organic, yes, but how do you maintain a good ground on a Harley?  :roll:

Chris it wasn't running so the ground was good enough for rodent eradication!  :-D

Pom Rod report - other than the harness for the headlights and front turn signals, the wiring is pretty much soldered up and in place.  I still have to get the insert for the stripped headbolt, but I'm thinking I should be able to make the final wire cuts this week, test fit the engine and finish wire terminations.  Then it's body work.

Midget update.  I'll be pulling a few components out to donate to the Sprite.  As I'm switching up to EFI, the Holley fuel pump will find new service in the Healey, as will the dual master cylinder.  I'd "T"d the master cylinder outlets for the Midget, but seeing as the racer only needs a single brake circuit, and the Frogeye has been uprated to a disc/drum dual circuit arrangement, it should be a straightforward swap with just minor alterations to both cars.

Heading to Wilmington on the 1st, and I intend to swing up to Michigan and drop off the crank from the K to aid in the creation of the new short stroke piece.
