Attachment 128219There are also vacuum self canceling indicator switches available from Holden Vintage & Classic UK that have a leaver like the original LR switch mounted on the wind screen frame. Also you can buy electronic devices that turn off the indicators automatically.
Many thanks.
Replacements for your current non-cancelling units are quite inexpensive and may yield the parts you need to fully restore your old self cancelling unit.

I tried that the lens will not screw onto the stork , the out side dia of the lens is the same size as the ou size dia of the thread. . I could have fitted a new wire through the stork no trouble . I will hang onto the old switch at the moment something may turn up. I am just running out of time I want to have Landy back on the road by mid September so I can drive her to All British Day. I havn,t missed a All British Day in 30 years & this year Landy is the only British vehicle I have un like previous years when I had two.Quote:

I have also prepared the seat box lids , panel under center seat & floor plates.Attachment 128423Attachment 128424
I am also getting the tail gate ready for painting , I hope to have it ready for when I top coat the other bitsAttachment 128425Attachment 128426 There are a lot of nicks out of the tail gate on the inside so am slowly building them up with spray putty, on the out side there is a small crease in one side & on the other there were two holes were the number plate had been attached . I have filled them with Devcon Aluminum Filler & am hopping to work out some way to attach the plate were it should be mounted with out having to pay $2500 for plates that will fit under thew tail light.
I have thought of using the plates off my BMW but unfortunately they are painted Blue [bigsad] I was always taught Blue & Green should never be seen.[bighmmm] May have to go to Qld Transport & see what they have, or get a cost to change the color of the plates.
I still have not found were i put the R/H sill channel so decided to make a new one out of a alum RHS pool fence post Attachment 128427 . I stuck some tape on two sides & drew a line on opposite sides for the legs of the channel. Then I clamped the post to the saw horse & using my circular saw cut along the two lines . Then cut the channel to length. Then using a flat smooth file removed the burs from the cuts .
This post had been powder coated so I have sanded the coating with some coarse wet & dry . I am just waiting for it to dry now then I will prime it so I can top coat it with the other bits .Attachment 128428Attachment 128429
Just got to pope the paint will take to the powder coating & stay on.[bighmmm]
Ideal conditions for painting today.Attachment 128514Attachment 128515Attachment 128516

I spent most of today wasting & cleaning my wife's I30 & my BMW ( they have been getting neglected lately) before starting on Landy.[smilebigeye]
I washed the tub & tail gate down with truck to get all the dust out of them ready for priming later in the week ( if it doesn't rain)Attachment 128577
then I run a die over around 100 1/4" BSF bolts & washed them in wax & grease remover . I then set 20 of them up in some holes in cardboard so I could etch prime , then prime . Once the they had dried I moxed up a little silver paint with hardener & painted the heads. These bolts will be used on the bonnet fittings. Attachment 128578
I also painted the spring latches for the bonnet with the same paint.Attachment 128579
That is it for a couple of days , tomorrow I am helping my brother get the body of his Mk2 Jaguar down out of the car port rafters were it has lived for the last 15 years & bolting the suspension so we can move it to our workshop for the rebuild. [bighmmm]
To days job was getting another fine bit of British engineering down from the rafters of brothers car port.Attachment 128644Attachment 128645Attachment 128646 The body was set at this angle so he could park his Falcon Ute with canopy under it.[biggrin]
