Thanks Lisa and Yeti.

Im getting there.

Dash has been working, all the lights, fuel gauge, volts, rev counter works and speedo has been turned on.

Few wiring faults.... Nothing serious, just few silly things like should have been a constant live instead of a switched on the brake warning light, need to wrap a few wires and re-do a few connections which i broke.

Plans for tomorrow is to fit the speed sensor and get that calibrated and then fix a blocked breather

Wires are alot tidier than they were.


Some more to tidy


Old connector


Wires


Connections


Nearly in... needs tidying.

[Jackman]

Its all done and working

Speed Pickup



4 nuts glued on the hub... later took off as it hit the cylinder, replaced with weld on the back of the studs.


Dash in.


Volt, oil and fuel


Speedo, water temp, vac and rev


Completed


Love it. Next steering wheel.

Edit.

Forgot to mention, need to sort my charge light, the resistance is higher than the old bulb so takes more revs to start the alternator working.

Also replaced my gearstick... if i went to find reverse it would engage and then it could spin around 180 degrees.... dont know why or how it did it but new stick fixed that.

Thanks Sweester.

Noticed another thing with a working temp gauge... it doesnt go above 70... no wonder its drinking fuel
