Cheers mate, appreciate that. Are you running an alternator or on the dynamo? I can try and send them a message for you, it may not make any difference but worth a shot.

Looking Good.

These any good?

Mine's a 2a with an alternator but it's only got 1 fuse for the entire car

So I'd need a fuse box anorl

Watching with interest.

Just waiting on a few parts before I drop the engine back in.

Not my favourite pastime either

I've got a parts catalogue and a Haynes manual so between them both I might be ok

I’ve been doing a bit today. Got the loom into the right places, just need to start hooking stuff up.

Gave the engine a quick flick over, no coil or fuel yet. But nice to hear it spinning over none the less. Took a little video but not sure how to upload?

cheers

With the help of @wireman I'm trying to work out how to fit the heater vents to the windscreen....

@blue beasty Help! Could you please remove my last post in this thread. I have somehow managed to post in here rather than my own thread. Sorry.

@joe_m Really sorry about this. I have the IT skills of a baboon.
