Any problems yet?

[Bungle]

no apart from the engine wont start

although with it sitting on the floor next to the car it might not help

The glass fuses are marked with the peak current rating rather than their continuous rating. Blade fused are marked with their continuous rating.

Using this info look at the following page to cross reference from one to the other. You will see that a 35A glass fuse is about equal to a 15A blade fuse (erring on the side of caution initially - you may find a 20A blade is needed).

Crocks came round today so some more progress









one slight problem the ignition light and low oil pressure light are permanently on even with ignition switch off and the only way to stop the engine is to pull the coil HT lead off

but the engine runs and is roughly timed and fuelled

brakes tomorrow

dame brake pipe's leaking (join under rad)

it would of been easy to replace if the engine wasn't fitted

still got my charge and low oil pressure lights on with ignition off

*shouts* crocks

[Purple Tom]

Bungle, do the charge and oil pressure lights go out when the engine is started? It just sounds like you've got a permanent live going to the instruments rather than a switched ignition 12V live - could it be something thats been crossed when you did the modifications to the fusebox?

Also, there *should* be a little access hole in the inner wing on the N/S that allows you to tighten up that brake pipe union, it might just need nipping up?

[GraemeC]

Does pulling the LT wires of the coil still leave the warning lights on then?
