Hi Chris funny I was playing with my headlight wiring yesterday. Just looking at the blue wire looks as if you have it going down the speedo drive hole. I assume you will be still using a mechanical speedo. Didnt want you to run lots of wire to find you have to rip it all back out.

Kind regards.

Cheers for that John, good spot :)

At the moment it was just placed like that to see if it all works, I had concerns that the ignition was a dud. Now we know the ignition works we will plan the routing, cross-referencing the original loom. The toggle switches will be place in a row on the new dashboard panel, not out of the cigar lighter :)

Takes me ages to leave a hotel room when checking out...I may have used the safe, even though I know I never went anywhere near it

Are you going to age the plexiglass print?

Think we are going add a new topic section for yours, Andy's (Lightweight_911) and Mikes projects.
