Indicator Replacement

The n/s indicator repeater on the cycle wing was only half working. One of the LEDs had gone so I have to replace the unit. The shame was I had fibreglassed the wires in place.

I soldered the wires of the new unit to the old wiring, covered with heat shrink then re-covered with fibregalss:


All working now:

Trim behind seats

There is a piece of trim that goes behind the seats at the top to cover the edge at front of the boot box (this was one of the items I had to re-stick the vinyl).

I contemplated a couple of options on how to fix it in place but in the end decided to rivet in place with the rivets under where the harness mounting go so they would be hidden.

I first taped it in place:




Then put 4 split rivets under the harness mountings:

Re-sticking covering

With the small panels that go at the sides of the dash and the piece that goes behind the seats stored in a warm room for a long time, the vinyl covering had come away. I stuck them down again using impact adhesive.
