Yeah I know its been covered before but has anyone fitted the bull motif kit before and is it easy to fit aka easy so that someone with like no knowledge of electrics can fit it.

The Kit a Lucas SFB300 is a pretty much a universal Classic Car after market fitment.
See link for fitting instructions :-
https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/m/hel ... 20KIT.pdf It's from Vintage Car Parts.
You're going to need wire strippers , electrical terminals / bullet connectors and the relevant crimpers , the odd cable tie to keep the cables tidy.
I'd put a call into Bull Motif to check instructions come with the kit and what other terminals / connectors are supplied as standard.

If your car electrical knowledge is zero , you might want to persuade another Classic Car owner to " Hand hold " and loan you wire strippers and relevant crimpers for non insulated Lucar terminals or bullet connectors ( depending what your car has ... not all cars are still standard after 50 odd years ).
Other options employ a garage or local Auto Electrician to fit it for you. It's your call.

You can put a "plea for help / assistance " on the Forum. DON'T quote your home address / telephone number just the nearest big town so people know roughly where you are. There is a private messaging service on this Forum where you can exchange details between the two of you ( which is not shown to every one on the net ).

Good advice I think! By the way,our local auto electrician is £30 an hour,plus vat, and sorts jobs out so quickly that it's hard to believe.

The instructions from Holden Vintage and Classic say suitable for both positive and negative earthed cars... but I'd double check with the supplier.
Keep the questions coming and " apologies " I didn't say" welcome to the Forum " earlier. I'm just going to start writing out 100 lines....
I must not forget ...

And you've also somehow managed to convert one of your gloveboxes into an oven for baking bread! :o
