No choice, without hazard lights, parking lights that always on on the right front and side indicators not worker neither not a chance to pass MOT / TÜV... And given the state of the Harnesses as is, no way to fix it without building basically a new one by hand.

Nevermind, just got of the phone with Auto Sparks, the RHD harness is overall shorter. So I just ordered the last LHD drive one they had. My credit card hates me, the credit card company loves me.

Follow up question, could someone be so kind and share photo of a RHD dashboard and steering column? Because if washer, indicator, light and so on switches are mirrored as well, a RHD harness won't cut it. Instruments would require some lengthening / shortening of cables (doable), headlights and...

For sure, I am really bad at electrical, well, things. I can read parts catalogues so. Hence, while I wait for feed-back from Auto Sparks and some other people doing nuts and bolts restaurations, I dug into my RRC parts catalogue. What I learned: All changes happened at VIN ...100783 and then...

Emptied the interior yesterday and today, isolated the transmission tunnel, got the rear carpets in, the transmission tunnel carpet as well. Reinstalled the drawers in the back. Plugged two holes, one in the driver foot well and one in the roof. Put all the parts and stuff in the car. Found...

Yeah, one thing nobody in their right mibds want's me to do DIY is anything electrical. If you want it to work, not set anything on fire or kill you that is!

Okay, nevermind. I actually did find someone who does full RRC harnesses for LHD models, Autospark in the UK. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Those cars ARE money pits so...

Good morning everyone! Turned out I have a serious question: I only found RHD harnesses, mi eis obviously a LHD car. So to anyone who did harness replacements, how different are those two in your opinion? And how is routing of the two different? My mechanic sees some problems and using a RHD...

Ok, today started well enough, getting everything out of the car for the caroet and soind deadening. Turned less good when I failed to remove the front prop shaft, no big deal so. The real downer was the indicator light so. Those don't work any more without the transistor ignition from a Jaguar...

Whem she goes back to the mechanic for the carbs, I'll ask him. Not urgent, I can juat seal it with that red silicon stuff, worked great last time. I did go a bit over board with the oil cooler so. Remember the motor sport shop I found? Yeah... That's where the new oil cooler, hoses and...

So, I slept over my tinkering ideas. And had a closer look at the car. Hence, a change of plans. A) I need a new oil cooler, the old one is leaking at the thermostat and one crimped in hose. And the connectors are impossible to remove from the cooler, so a new one with thermostat and fittings is...

Yeah, that's the conclusion I reached by now as well. Still a bit disappointed, but even with the way to lean SU, man, she pulls! 😊 Makes this whole snorkel thing a lot easier, and a lot cheaper as well, it reduces the costs for a well suites hose that goes directly to the air box. Done. Need...

So, I do have news! The Zeniths are almost done, so I'll have to take them back. Which would be good news, IF I hadn't gotten permission from the secretary of finance to go for tge Edelbrock one. And IF I hadn't developed a liking for the potential power gain from the four barrel one. I did...

Yeah, the market changed sine Covid, before a lot of people wanted to "overland", now, well, camping cars in general are in decline from ehat I hear. Maybe I find someone interested in good condition LT95 for some close to original restauration. If so, yeah, why not get a better gearbox for an...

So, just to close this thread with a defenitive update: She will get new 4-2 exhaust manifolds (the old ones are gone), a Weber / Edelbrock carb, full heat shielding and sound deadening, all of that this year. Maybe even a roof top tent, depending on the condition and price of a used one I...
