With the seat heaters wired in, the seats bolted in, and no wires dragging around under the car I thought it was time for a quick test run. It was a pretty hot day so I forgot to test the seat heaters. Here's Michele and I backing out:
I think she was happy there was no pushing the car involved in this outing. However we did hear a brushing noise from the rear passenger area. (By the way this was a trip just circling the block.) I saw afterwards the tail of the strap holding the fuel filter was touching the rear passenger tire and I think on bumps the filter itself rubbed the tire. So I trimmed the strap and moved the filter (again). Fortunately I saved some of the 5/16" fuel hose and had a spare piece that was long enough to move the filter back as far as it can possibly go. It should be out of the way now but if its not I will have to engineer something up. I would say the instructions weren't clear about moving this to the absolute rear but then again maybe they didn't expect as big a tire as I have (although I think people are often putting these wide tires on this car....)
