Scottie - Thanks.
I am actually enjoying the wiring and now have a much better idea how it all joins up.
Also, I really like the look of those connecting blocks from AES (Auto Electrical Supplies).

I know I am supposed to be doing other things, but I loved the photos in yesterday's "Ribble News".
Car #274 is a
Pilot/Spyder body with a
Navigator/Cordite bonnet fitted.
I have similar alloy wheels, the same type of chrome bullet side mirrors, similar lighting, etc.
So this actually gives a pretty good impression of what I am trying to achieve.
Although, I prefer to use racing roundels if I decide to put #7 (Cordite kit number) on my car.
The other thing I like about this is the way the front indicator still looks good at a downward angle.
I'd rejected this idea when I tested it with my, much larger, Land Rover rear indicator lens a long time ago.
But I now have the same classic mini front indicators to use and so I will copy this idea.
Yes, I know, it was only a few days ago that I said I would copy
Micky1Mo's indicators in the grille idea.
Perhaps I should drill some holes in the bonnet straightaway before any more photos are published!
Finally, I had also got to the bottom of the retaining the headlight rim (see
Mac's build).
The 1500 used a different headlight fitting altogether, so I'd order two second hand ones.
But one came with a hole for a fixing screw and one didn't.
Anyway, I had brought a complete headlight assembly indoors when working on the wiring loom.
But a quick check with Rimmer Brothers showed I was missing the retaining clip in this photo.
So I need to see if I set up something that will work with the box of clips I have.
Plus I will need to drill a hole in the headlight rim that currently doesn't have one.
Anyway, that all for now, as I really need to go.
Cheers, Paul.
