Are there many road rallies your way ?

[danny1]

Not really, but I'm moving to Rotherham end of this year early next year with the mrs, so fingers crossed I'll be in a better position from there

But I can sprint the car in Cornwall and local county's till I move but I don't think the car will be ready any time soon because of work

We'll I'm buying a mk1 loom now as it's gonna be so much easier than butcheringt he loom I have

I need to start looking for a set of seats as we'll hmm so many to choose from

[danny1]

Right I've been looking at points and I don't think I can find any for my dizzy I've looked at the numbers on my dizzy and it says 43D4

Anyone have an idea as to what points I should get it's an A series dizzy

[danny1]

right ive been doing some thinking:

 

with the mk1 loom fitted to the car ive got all my switches and guages and speedo working as they should, and then when i thought about thinsg for the MOT like having everything labbled so it will pass first time, it suddnley hit me.

 

were's my hazard switch, now the car looks old but it acturally isnt its a 82 plate car.

which means by law it should have hazard lights.

 

now heres my probllem, how the frick do i go about wirring one in.

now ive looked at stripping down my old loom which has a hazard switch already in it, and removing the wirring and the relay and then adapting it to fit the mk1 loom, but thats just an idea ive had, i havnt got my haynes manual on base with me so i cant look at it and see what work whould be involved.

 

im hopeing someone else out there has done the same thing as me and has some information on what i should be doing to gte it to work.

 

as the car its self is almost ready really.

 

ive decided my dead line is gonna be riv run, which is easily so able, all i need is to finish wirring find an interia, and get an mot on the thing

 

easy :/
