These came today and i am going to fit them later!!
Pulled out the dash and wiring as the last owner was a weeeeee bit scotch lock and three core flex happy, so getting her ready for a rewire at the w/e.
Get the soldered bullet connector and a soldering iron if you haven't got one. Also some heatshrink tubing to tidy them up with. It's a bit of a faff soldering but you'll get a much neater job with less chance of loose connections buggering you up and making you strip the dash out again, to find the bugger.
Thanx for the advice, I have a nice litle gas soldering iron, I'll be picking up the parts that I need tomoz.
It's funny what folk will do to fit a stereo and cheap alarm, scotch locks, crimp locks and electrical connectors, no electrical tape anywhere and most of them bare, even found a piece of wire they never needed but kept it in the dash............ obviously for that rainy day! :doh:
I just wanted to replace the old rusty bolts with new ones in metric so got some at the local tractor depo. I think they might be zinc-coated, not stainless - fecked if I know the difference.
Stainless would be a very uniform silvery colour, MS BZP bolts (Mild Steel, Bright Zinc Plated) might appear silvery gold and have colour variation, particularly under the head and on the shank.
Should be OK if they're zinc plated, but IIRC I used HT bolts ...
Just checked me ebay and I've won a set of BFG AT's for £25.
