Hi Mark, yeah when I saw those switches I knew they'd be spot on[:p] They match nicely and funnily enough I think they are the same brand as the original switches from the 60's!! The frame work and termials are identicle to the originals...just different switching internally I'll check out Shed Machine over the weekend[:p]

A bit more progress this weekend The fuel tank, surge tank and pumps are back in, I've given the rear suspension a fresh coat of black, the rear brakes are fitted up, the door internals are reassembled...its been a productive weekend Now for the rear wiring harness to be finished off, Im not sure why but I seem to be avoiding it[:u]

Top work. Ass end looks fantastic.

Very neat. Looking great with the fresh black coat on the diff

It is easy to do those braded lines? Do you have to have thread end on the end of everything?

Cheers
Andrew
