Radio Wiring
Inside the fusebox was off to add in a fuse for the electric aerial. It has a permanent live feed to let it wind down when the ignition is removed so I thought it best to have an independent 5A fuse. The polyswitch is also removed now in favour of a separate fused circuit direct to the battery for radio memory & immobiliser flashing LED. My cutoff switch cuts everything except this single radio memory circuit.
Not much to see when its back together - its not the easiest of jobs wading through the back of the fusebox, especially as everything seems just out of arms length when working inside the car:

Radio wiring routed down the passenger side of the tunnel: aerial, electric feed to raise it and the speaker cables. Touch wood it doesn't all interfere with each other - we shall see.
The aerial itself needed a grommet to prevent it earthing against the car, and an eyelet in the boot lid to let it pass straight through when the radio is turned on:
Aux Panel
A little headway on the new Aux panel. I'm keeping the sides from the old one and just re-building the front face in 1.6mm aluminium as per the hardboard template. Then I can offer it all up with the dashboard back in place to find the right angle before riveting the sides back in place.
The folded top edge goes back on my version rather than forward on the stock GBS panel, meaning it will be a little more vertical and hopefully give some more room behind for the switches which are mounted much lower. Everything to be re-covered in vinyl once complete:
