hi all

thanks fred, i may use the engine/box/axle in a 't' bucket or suchlike in the future.
anyway i've been out the garage for an hour to check the lights, can't finish the wheels 'til the l/h wheelnuts are sorted. anyway the n/s rear side marker had a dirty earth, sorted and the o/s front indicators didn't work. the lens is a long thin thing between the bottom of the grill and the bumper, set right back where it's a ****** to get to. i fiddled it off without dropping it and wiggled the bulb out with my finger tips. all good so put that back, er no not with my fat sausage fingers. so now the whole light unit is off and i'm checking wiring. no feed from the loom to the light wiring plug. so next stop the bulkhead plug, nothing there either. so under the dash on my back, not so bad as no carpet and the floors clean so i can slide in and out pretty easy. last stop the column plug and we have life. so to check the light itself i looped a wire out of the door from the column to the light and it works as does the repeater on the wingtop. so my next job will be unplug all the bulkhead connectors and give them a bloody good clean and lube. unfortunately as of tomorrow evening i'm off to the kitcar show with work 'til monday night, doh!
