Looks great, Vekke. That book wrapping laminate is pretty vigorous. Certainly enough for mere testing. Clean and quick. We could use other tape, but it you have access to sheets like this, it is faster and easier. Also, clear means you are relatively inconspicuous. I like that too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
