Dave Maton returned today to hopefully finish the wiring on the race car. I had bought loads more wiring and also a gas powered soldering iron, so we were looking forward to getting everything working. A lot of the original wiring loom was missing, so we started from fresh which was challenging at times.
We also had to fit a rotary switch with four positions on the dashboard because the original headlight switch layout was totally missing. (These are the moments when I wonder why I bought this car!)
Anyway, while Dave worked away at the wiring, I got on with fitting the seat belts. (It didn't have any of those either!) I managed fitting the driver side seat belt, but for some reason there is just a hole where the captive nut used to be in the B pillar, so I will have to make up a plate and captive nut for that another time.
By late afternoon we had side lights, dipped beam, full beam, windscreen washers, and a hooter, so I was very pleased with the days work. 😊
