A trip to B&Q and Screwfix for some industrial castor wheels, 18mm ply and some 4x2 (apologies for mixing imperial and metric units) and we now have a skateboard with a loading limit of 1000kg, ready to take the engine when it comes in a crate at some point in the next 2 weeks.
More dash related jiggery pokery. Its a good job I bought a sheet of plywood large enough to make 2 dashboards as the first attempt wasn't very good. Even though we spent a good while carefully trimming the curve on the cardboard it was still nowhere near when the shape was transferred to the plywood. Mk2 is a lot better and I'll put a photo up when we have cut the holes for switches/dials.
The picture below is the offending connectors mentioned earlier, I couldn't get them to snap together so I binned them and got some high current Ford loom connectors, Ill update with a pic later. They are a bit excessive, in fact they are bloody enormous but they feel very secure when connected together so that's all that matters.
