It should be easy to wire in as all the wires you need come off the steering column under the dash.

[danny1]

yeah ive just been looking at it, i should be able to conect all the wires up nice and easy, pluss it comes with an idiots guide to get it all working.

 

 

should be able to crack on and get some serious work done to it come next week when im on leave

[mad mk1]

I just rewired my flasher setup last night, it's so easy on a mk1

[danny1]

well im on 2 weeks leave as of friday so ive got a list of jobs to do but as it stands its wirring done, bleed brakes and bleed clutch and try and gte it to fire.

 

and then ill do pre MOT stuff like double check nuts and bolts and grease everything up.

 

and then search for some seats and harness 

 

i was looking at the kirkey seats but they seem very flimsy, so they have been marked of the list. hmm im sure somethign will turn up

[danny1]

right been looking at seats and i think im just gonna get a cobra imola,  they look very comfy and think they will suit the car

 

and i need to bend the gear sick into a new position as atm it hits the dash so ive i gas axe it and bent it into a new position it should work lol

[mad mk1]

I would say mate, if you can have a sit in one first as they are not very wide as I have one.

[danny1]

I had a std width cobra in my old car and I found that alright for me and I'm not the fattest of people t all

[danny1]

Finally on leave.

Just got my new loom I t he post had a look at it and yeah I wish they would have labeled all the wires so I know what went were,
It just looks like lots of wires I can guess the obvious like the starter solinoide and the alternator and center clock but the res, it we'll erm a mess ahaha

[danny1]

Been wirring today which is means progress is slow although I got it to turn over on the key :)

But when it comes to wiper switch and light switch I'm getting a little confused with what wires go we're
Am I also right in be living the old style switches used to earth out as we'll ?

Maybe not I'm just having a few issues getting everything working but I'm sure I'll work it out

I'll up date some pictures of progress tomorrow, fingers crossed I get lights, wiper and indicator oh and not forgetting hazards all working tomorrow, would be happy with that and then it's just a case of well fuel and see if i can get it started

:)

[danny1]

This is my new hazard switch
When it turned up a small part was broken so I phoned the company and they send out the replacement part straight away turned up the day afterwards, great company. Simon posted a link and the page behind this one

NICE! 

[danny1]

There not gonna be able to say they didn't see me coming :)

[danny1]

We'll I have sparks and I have fuel but she struggles to turn over because completion is quite high, so I'm thinking high tourque starter should shove that problem

I'm gonna redo the tappers tonight just to make sure I've not messed them up
But it looks like it's gonna start

So the light at the end of the tunnel is near

[RODZMINI71]

Good Luck ;)

[danny1]

Still waiting on my starter motor so no progress there.

I've found a seat and harness so there on the way.

Only thing I've been looking for, for quite a while is a old roof rack, now I know it would be easier to find a unicorn
But you never know what might turn up :/

Anyway nothing else to report other than it's getting there
