GaryD1971 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 @Mole I've got my eye on Saturday for a little potter around the local area whilst I build up my confidence in the car and gain some familiarity with it. 'tis truly an eye opener after the usual tin tops! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 New carbon fibre dash in. Easy job? Just swap the wires onto the new switches and off you go. NO. 2 wires on 6 terminals, wiper switch working the wrong way (switch on, wipers off. Switch off, wipers on) Side lights on, no headlights. Sidelights off,headlights on. Got everything working by trial and error, put the dash in and the loom was under the hoop. Everything off and loom moved above hoop and plugged back in. Everything working so dash fitted. Start the car, and it won't start. A few choice words, well quite a few really, and I've come in for a coffee. The dash looks good, but not much different to the old one. Everything was working fine so why did I change it? Because that's what we do. 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's what we do. Fun times Looks good, but a question for you. I bought one of those rear view mirrors but it wouldn’t work as it hit the windscreen. I shortened the stalk on it but still no good. I see you have somehow mounted it further to the rear so it works, can you post a pic up so I can see why you did? Thanks 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I shortened the stalk too, and used a piece of ABS to move it rearwards and away from the screen. I'll get a photo tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
