then the new one arrived. spare for the spares box. so I did a headlight check and the left side headlamp is off, could be just the bulb.
the wiring is a little old and showing it's age.

Re: 1966 2 door saloon Milly restoration project
Thank you both for the helpful comments, I cleaned off the brake light switch terminals with emery cloth, then re fitted a terminal connector and bingo, both brake lights working.

Re: 1966 2 door saloon Milly restoration project
off with the headlamp to get a look at the bulb.
nothing wrong here, perfect condition.so it has to be a broken connection or blown fuse, but one headlight is working.so it must be isolated to a broken wire somewhere?

Re: 1966 2 door saloon Milly restoration project
taking another look in here, there is a loose brown green wire and a loose connection block.
joining these two back together was like making a morse code lamp work, simple fixs are always the most satisfying.

I must be colour blind it was a green wire red tracer, anyway with a flame danced over the heat shrink sleeve it seals in the connection like it's vacuum packed.
both light working, if this had been a modern I'd still be out there chasing a fault and scratching my head. Great result.

Re: 1966 2 door saloon Milly restoration project
the fog lamps in that picture above have two loose wires either side, I want to connect them up to a new switch, anyone advise me on what terminal I should run them off?
Re: 1966 2 door saloon Milly restoration project
My son's first car, of course the first thing he wants is a aftermarket steering wheel. have to say it's quite snazzy, not my cup of tea as I'm old and into the original look. At least it's not some tiny teacup size. Badge of the boy racer, but it doesn't look too bad, large enough to look classic, can't stand those teacup size boy racer wheels. Probably cos I'm old.
Had to line it all up using black tape so the bolt holes lined up and the steering wheel looked right.

The Pickup seats getting an extra layer of foam to plump them up. Going in from underneath, first I'm gluing a patch under the seat where its beginning to go. Weights on that overnight to let it set.
the bands out, taken out from underneath, they look like they are in good condition.
the cab looks odd with the seats out
