Well the fuel gauge is wired with an ign feed then the other side goes to tank unit that should have an earth (brown) wire to ground. Sounds to me like the ign feed is interrupted when the lights are turned on? Check the light circuit and the fuel gauge is wired correctly.

I have never had a problem with bolt on covers, use cork gaskets . I also use clear Bostic on the gaskets to glue them to the covers. Well it works for me.

Does that mean the s/h unit I have is worth dosh?

I fitted the early brake kit to my late drop spindles, needs an adaptor machining and the original calliper mountings removing. How to in Spliffy the panel build in gallery.

Just check the voltage (engine off) at the large terminal (battery +) on the alternator just to see if you have continuity. I drove all the way across Sweden and from the ferry to Malvern in my Dodge on the same fully charged battery from start. It was flat as the next morning!! The alternator...

Bugger its the same weekend as the Upton Blues festival, cant miss that as its in staggering distance of my flat (tipsy, who me ?)

If you have met Oz then you know he usually ends up under a seat-----------

Yes thats it just down the inside of chassis rail with grommeted holes at each end. Cant get to take pics at the moment unless there is one on the build thread in Gallery under Spliffy.

No tube on my 68 (67 build) just grommets as on all the bays I have seen, sounds like someone's add on?

Yup double nut it and I dont mean a Barnsley hand shake! It might be hard to line up on reassemble though.

I prefer stone chip,

Now I refrained from that but it did spring to mind!!! or was that the picture of the Madonna with the big bobbies?

Its all about the resistance

^^ plus make sure the relay arm is centred on the beam, you can measure from the lock stops to get it centred.

Give the pedal pivot a good soak in WD and a good working then slap some oil on , do you have a servo?

No but should be relatively simple, one from an old 205 diesel would work . Its just where would you fit it as its a bit tight for room on a type 1 motor.

Quick "cure" is to wrap tape around column to hold switch in place

I tend to put a dab of solder on crimp joints just to make sure, also I fitted relays to the ignition/starter circuits to stop volts drop . Details in build thread under Spliffy the panel. Vehicle Wiring Services for me, they have everything.

Ate to much, drank to much and slept like a log!! Chill and relax day now after 5hrs of cooking Christmas dinner for myself and mother yesterday (and not blowing my own trumpet but it was great!)
