I put the bonnet on for the first time after welding the series 3 "hinge" bracket onto my series 2 bulkhead: that end of the bonnet worked fine. However, i was (rightly) nervous about the bonnet catch end at the front. Having put the bonnet down softly onto the mechanism, it didn't want to...

I am in the process of installing a new loom on a car i am rebuilding so lots of things not installed yet. I can't remember if this is an original switch or a replacement. I know i have tested the windscreen wiper switch output and the wiper motor moved ok. However, i am installing the washer...

As you can see in the first photo, there is a big gap between the inner wing panel and the mud guard, which i can't believe is correct. I had to do some repairs to the inner wing panel, as the corners with the holes were corroded away. You can see I have pop-rivetted a couple of repair patches...

Good ideas

This is a follow on really from another post. Where is best to locate the Relay Box I am using for headlights, fan etc? If I put it on the side of the inner wing, it will sit above the battery. I suspect I would need to remove the Relay Box (and wires) if I wanted to remove the battery. Not...

Having jerry-rigged up almost all the wiring, i have most dials/gauges/switches working. However, I went to see if the fuel and temp gauges work and got nothing. Now, i don't have much fuel in the tank at the moment, so i can understand that that might show nothing. But having run the engine up...

thanks for the pointers. I can see this item https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272096215840 I will assume i can either mount my bracket there or a replacement bracket, and plumb the wiring accordingly.

I have put the dash support on the car, and held it in place with cable ties, which works as a temporary solution.

I bought this on ebay, partly as i needed a hazard switch. I can't find anything similar in any photos on the web. I can't work out if/where i could place this bracket in my dash - is there somewhere it can fit?

Series 3, yes

I have got most of the electrics connected and working - just a few more bits to get sorted (hazards, horn etc). At the moment, the console with all the dials and switches on it is just sitting free on a seat- much easier to sort out connections. Apart from the bare bulkhead, i don't have any of...

they are the ones. many thanks

sorry - in too much of a rush. here are the pics

I have bought various bulbs for the vehicle. For the console, some larger ones screw in. For others on the console, the small (push and turn) ones fit - as shown in 2 of the photos. However on my new loom, there is also a couple of black sockets (shown in one photo) which appear to expect a...

On my old bulkhead, someone fashioned a piece of rubber with cuts in it to partly seal the gap. I don't see anything like this on the parts diagram. I can make my own version of this with some metal sheet and rubber but is there a official part to do this (as my refurbed bulkhead has the same...

Apologies in advance as this question is pretty basic, and it does show the limits of my understanding. ref picture of wiring diagram: Item 23 is ignition Item 2 is solenoid Item 1 is starter Item 31 is alternator Item 33 is coil Item 28 is fuse box So, I understand, when the engine is off, I...

Just starting a complete rewire (new looms etc) of the vehicle. I have bought part 502096 (3 pin), as i believe that is a replacement for the GFU107 (2 pin) listed in my parts book. My wiring diagram only uses 2 pins. I thought i would test out the flasher before i tried connecting it. I was...

I cannot work out how to put the seat attachments on the seat box. I have looked at my photos when i took the car apart, and I had: 1) the adjustable seat runner on the drivers side (makes sense), as per my latest photo when i have started to rebuild it 2) the seat brackets for the middle seat...

Ref the rear light cables, the loom has the connectors (double connectors on the drivers side to support tow bar electrics), do I join the light fittings to the connectors below the vehicle or do I somehow squeeze all the connectors through the hole and have the joins “in” the tub (i.e. in the...

Do i need to have the front wings back in place before i install the new wiring loom, or does the loom go on attached to the chassis. I assume the headlights/sides etc need the wings, but can the rest go on?
