Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been waiting for this t be done, I wanted to keep the original steering wheel and had to get this made, I just picked it up, and it looks and fits great, costs a few £££ but I think it's worth it so it looks pukka, its make of hardened steel so its up to the job, now I can progress a bit more If we start getting better weather as well, Its being built on my front garden, so I rely on the weather.

A bit more done with the steering and electrics and hydronic piping, I'm useless with sparks, so I have to check everything 5 times, and put it (hopefully) right, then check it again!! Orders the red starter cable for the battery, going to put it under the pax seat, getting 3m so should be enough? Test trial the steering and put the bearing on for the steering rod, have to sand and paint some of it before I fit it (with galv spray)
IT’s looking great. I’m just finishing my S3 rebuild. A 1971 now with a 200tdi and a galv chassis and bulkhead. It’s taken me a year of working evenings and weekends. Electrics took ages because I added several relays to reduce the load on all the old switches. A bit more sound proofing to do and that should be it.

So the solid green one is a switched and fused live, usually feeding something like a brake light switch or a wiper motor switch. I’ve seen green/yellow used for either the heater motor or the oil pressure switch in some wiring looms. Good luck!

Just trace the other end of the G/Y and see where it goes, or which dash panel switch is still missing connections after you’ve wired everything else.
