Well if there's trading session going on Ill offer up an over weight diabetic black cat, would love another sheltie to go with klonk.

Time constraints have only allowed some little time to play today, but I have managed to take another small step forward.
I have been looking/studying the circuit diagrams for the Series 1 with blinkers and my head is still spinning LOL, anyway the first step was to fit a blinker type light to the LH front guard, the first step was to postion the light and lightly mark the spot with a drill bit

I then had to purchase these inserts, look @ 'Max' he heard me reading that it has been suggested he be swapped for a 'Cat' I think he is sending a message to 'Digger' LOL

then with a pair of dividers, mark out the width of the opening @ 9/32" that's the scratch marks, drill through 9/64" then 17/64", using a square file open up the hole so it will accept the plastic inserts

rough enough is good enough LOL, then push the inserts into place

then fit the light using the 2 screws to engage the inserts and your done,

cheers Dennis

A small step is a step none the less. It looks great

Is that piece of wing fiberglass Dennis?

Cheers, Mick.

No the guards are all aluminium, I have done the RHS this afternoon and fitted my NOS 'Pork Pies' as well. Tomorrow I'm going to mark out n cut the holes for the rear blinkers (hopefully) anyway cheers Dennis

He makes it look easy doesn't he
