  4. I’ll take a pic tomorrow, it doesn’t help that I’ve got the wrong fuel gauge on it

  8. I’ll take a few pics of what I’ve got....maybe someone can tell me what all the cut wires are and why I’ve got a few I can just pull from the birds nest and rest on my seat!!??

    What worked before you touched it?

    What works right now?

    Every time you pull a wire out, do it between the two steps above and note down each set of findings.
     
  10. The clocks weren’t attached when I got the project, I’ve fitted a different fuel gauge too so the wires may be different

    Think about it...

    Speedo...only significant in 30mph zones.

    Fuel gauge...fools gold.

    Mileometer...insignificant as very few of us how many times it’s been around the clock.

    Clock...look on your phone.


    The only one you need is the altimeter light, and if there is an issue there the engine will handily seize before you get in to too much trouble.


    Clocks are overrated.

  16. I guess you’re right, thanks! I’ll cut the lot out, make the restoration quicker :cool:

  17. Well that light switch shouldn't have black and yellow going to two different terminals for a start ... .. unless that's a different year to mine..
