Indicators solved

I'm happy I wired in a connector to the dashboard/scuttle switches as the dashboard had to come off again! The non-functioning indicator turned out to be me accidentally swapping two wires in the connector. I still can't get the hazard switch LED to come on at the same time as the indicators though.

Another thing that put me off taking the scuttle off was the windscreen wiper motor had to be unbolted and removed from the bulkhead leaving the wiper blade drive shaft bolted in place to the scuttle. A real ass to get the motor bolted back in place again and the drive shaft put back.

Like this but the motor had to be completely removed from the shaft otherwise the weight would damage it.

It then dawned on me that I could leave the whole thing in place only having to remove the nuts holding the windscreen splines in place and then dropping them through the scuttle. They lay on the wiring harness until the scuttle goes back!

Will change the oil in the next couple of days. May need to remove the super charger as it's a bit of a tight fit to get to the filter.

With a bit of luck it may be enough to remove the rising rate fuel regulator.

Order two tyres for the rear today. Yokohama RD08's recommended by Dave are quite expensive here and the Toyo R888's that James mentioned are hard to come by. Talked to a guy at Yokohama and he suggested the Advan Sport V105.  A great tyre with good road holding in dry and wet for road and occasional track days. I will order two more for the front once I see the results.

Bye for now!
