Wow can't believe Minisport , ordered these parts Sunday night and got them Tuesday midday....



will use again....

Can commence the build tomorrow.

That must be a record for MiniSport! I've ordered parts before and been waiting weeks and weeks, only to ring and be told they were out of stock. Still took my money though. Excuse the random rant

When I bought my tacho I was told it was back lit blue, on fitting I found out it was back lit
white, I decided i have put up with it for long enough so I decided to change the bulb
for a blue one.. On opening up the tacho I found it had '3' sml bulbs inside (not led's).
Because I had to buy another pack of blue led's to finish off the interior light this meant
I have 3 spare led's. I removed the 3 white bulbs ,then had to drill out the holes to 6mm
to fit the led holder, then clip in the led's and solder in the new wires.

new led's in place




first view lit

Nice project.

Just wondering how did you do the single wiper conversion?

Nice project.

Just wondering how did you do the single wiper conversion?

used the mini wiper assembly , altered the wiper drive outer sleeve and shortened the
drive cable, best to use an early wiper gearbox to give a larger sweep.

Hey Freddy, Can you please tell me what lights you used for your rear number plate lights under the recess? What dimensions are they? (WxDxH) Cheers
