| The electrics were badly corroded, although appear to be complete |
| Oct 03 | Mounted in the chassis under the drivers footboard, the brake light switch appears to be OK. |
| Apr 04 | ![]() the "modern" twin brake lights in the wings
(first pic) were moved up into two "pork pie's" and
the "modern" lights removed and replaced by reflectors (see lights). This is the minimum legal set-up these days and passes the MOT. |
| Apr 04 | ![]() The new 75 amp-hour battery is secured by a simple strap. New leads and earth connections have been made upAlthough leakage is barely measurable, a battery master switch has been fitted in order to protect the vintage electrics. |
| Apr 04 | ![]() A bonus with all the to-ing and fro-ing has been that the ignition switch which was very intermittent - has now come to life and can be relied upon. A difficult job saved ! The original keys on a very old keyring came with the car |
| Oct 04 | ![]() The original horn wasn't working so an old Klaxon has been dug out and fitted - the horn was cut to fit over the top hose. Tempting to fit a relay (the horn is live all the time) but resisted as the button and wiring are well able to carry the current. |
