I thought the wiring was gonna be really bad on my rebuild and i dreaded the day when i had to sort it.

In the end it was actually very logical and mostly a game of elimination and referring to the wiring diagram every so often.

The most useful tool for me was a 12v light bulb screwdriver thingy with a crocodile clip as earth that is a remnant of my grandfathers tools from the 60's. As simple as that tool is, you'll be able to test all the switches, light,indicators etc etc with it.

The time it took was a long time, just plodded on methodically through it all.
 
Stripped a bit more today. Ordered/requested prices for some parts.
