1971 Restoration by green96v4

3 minute(s) of a 34 minute read

glad you like the images, I'll trace the blacks tonight (see which part of the loom they're in, can remember from memory!) one must go to the back of the Speedo (and has a piggyback connector) so I'm wondering if the other black I have connects to that too

I'll take a look and report back - thanks for the help!

Here's what I have question marks on:

one "finger" of the loom has
double red line - goes to the Brake warning light on the speedo cluster
Green - goes to illumination dimmer
Black - has a piggyback connector, but not sure where this should go...


Another loom "finger" has:

Black - female connector (again not sure on this one)
Blue - Main Beam warning bulb for speedo cluster
Grey - indicator warning bulb for speedo cluster
Yellow - other connection for Brake warning bulb (other side is the double red from the above finger)
This finger also has a longer extension to it with a green (that goes to the dimmer) and a blue that's unused (and is tucked back into the protective tubing

It's basically the two blacks that I'm struggling with, there is an obvious connection on the back of the Speedo cluster, I'm wondering if both plug into that (one piggybacking off the other) or have I missed something?

Help!

been a while since I posted (due to our old house requiring more attention) but I have finished to fuel tank and boot area

Wheel colour isn't strictly factory authentic, but when I was restoring them this colour was one of the (many) layers of paint on the wheels and I thought it looked better than the standard dark silver, so had them shot blasted and powder-coated (and went for the cheaper Firestone tyres as the authentic Michelins were twice the price!)

Inlaws have just come from the UK with an exhaust system in their baggage (I'm not kidding) so once that's fitted it will be ready to start up - still have to just get a battery!!

Next step is to get it started

Back at the project now that winter in Canada has taken me "indoors"

so moving onto the interior, I had the seats recovered years ago (before it came off the road) but the foam is shot, managed to poke my finger straight through! so guess I'll be figuring out new foam



but back seats and all the runners, boarding and black cappings have been restored/replaced, also remade the wooden chock for the back seat support as mine had seen better days (rotten and weld burns all over it)

Also have a friend remaking the headliner, can't go too much further until that's ready
