Successful day in the garage

Unashamedly copied (and edited) from my post in the Electrical section....
I found the three wires (for the indicators) and connected up (a) GM Vauxhall flasher unit. After trying various combinations of connection (three wires, three prongs on the unit), there was light in the indicators!
Mostly.... cannot get the rear nearside to work, whilst the front nearside is flashing away like a strobe light, but it can only be a bad connection somewhere, or the bulb has failed.
I also got the horn working, the needle on fuel gauge is at last actually doing more than being decorative, and the exhaust pipe is properly sealed, so the car finally sounds like a proper Minor!
Now, if I could get the brakes to even vaguely work....
