Thanks for posting Stephen. Great to see.

I will eventually have to change that support bracket to flatten out the bearing angle - it looks a bit too untidy🙃.
Lock to lock is not noticeably less than original, but it must really be a smidgen less. Steering is so much lighter at low speeds now that an extra maneuver, if required, will not be ...

A bit of Easter weekend play.
Mathew at Rosie's garage Belconnen fitted the rack for me a week ago and I drove home with the old Torrie column and linkage. It was soooo light and no bump steer or nasties. It did bind a bit with the single uni up top, so bought a double one to solve that.
This ...

Swapped the original ignition switch for a reconditioned HR switch. Bought a Rares bezel nut to make it work but it wouldn't screw on. Total waste of money. Ended up making a spacer and using the EK nut. Used the EK lock barrel without any problems. It is nice to have an accessory circuit🙂.
On ...

Easy way to test it is to wire up a heater fan or a headlight or two in line with either the positive or you could use the negative wire from a battery. Only one polarity through the meter and the other to the load. Don't wire positive to one side and negative to the other on the meter or you will ...

For use with generators really.
They need to be wired so that all output from the generator +ve goes in the negative side and all circuits getting power connect to the +ve side of the meter. On FB/EK with generator and original wiring this is using the power input on the rear of the headlight ...

Me too!
I'm not over confident but have got a second gps speedo to see what I can do.

Thanks to Clay, I have a spare speedo to play with. The plan is to swap a gps mechanism into it, but to keep the original pie graph style readout. I'm not sure how that is going to go, but thought that it might be of interest to pull it apart and see what's going on.

Instead of a needle, the ...

Thanks Rob.

Info needed:
I am after an ignition switch that will fit the dash hole that has an accessory position. Do EH switches or HD/HR switches fit our dash? And if so, does the key barrel swap?
Thanks, B

Many thanks Clay. Much appreciated.

I will have to change lens anyway to clear so I'm keen to grab it. Thanks

Thanks Clay. Sounds ideal. Don't need it to work, just look good. Thought I would see if I could set up the speed indicator onto a gps drive and get it to look old school.

Anyone out there got a spare speedo they dont want? I'm chasing a spare speedo with a good scratch free glass. I am going to see if I can convert one to gps internals but dont want to mess up my good one. Many thanks,
Brett

Pics I took before I had pipe made. You can see extractors are miles away from chassis kit and gearbox crossmembers etc.
