does the bottom of the dash have the 19mm radius ?? if not its a fail. I would also remove the fire extinguisher again for radius,

Good luck with the retes would be a little worried about the dash bottom Brother in laws failed at nottingham as there was no radius, we hed to split
a pipe and fix that to the bottom. The tester said if he was able to pull it off it would fail so we covered it in vinyl,

dash and comment it was LOVELEY lol

Sounds like you have everything in hand.
Good luck anyway, especially for the weather.

Brake Bias....
Rule of thumb, is that the fronts should lock up before the rears.
Also the bar should be locked with roll pins.
I had 3 attempts before I got mine right.
Remember fronts to lock up before rears. Its a good yardstick.
Good luck for tomorrow.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
