    Dash panel lights

    hi all,

    Lots happening, new house almost finished and ready to move in approx 8wks time. Def 90 got started and lots happening with her to get ready for rego and pass blue slip. Had to rip out the entire floor tunnel/panels just to get at the reverse switch for the reversing rear light (not working). D4 going well but will need timing belt done soon. S1 just sitting idle but small update.

    1 green on right side is original light, red is new suitable from Whitworths for approx $3.75 each come in 3 colours green, red and amber. Hole needs to be slightly bigger to make fit. Will need to look at google to see how many and what colours i need. I did buy all three colours though.

    2 green and amber to the right for install

    3 i think i only need two lights after all, looking at the dash again

    any advice much appreciated.

    dash light upgrade

    1 went to clark rubber and bought some grommets to use for my dash light surround, hole on dash panel was too big or the lights from whitworths were too small, so this was the compromise

    2 grommets fitted into dash panel for testing, looks ok and more importantly holds the lights in

    3 headlights which were recently removed from the defender 90 and fitted with LEDS, meant this could be fitted to S1, this panel is missing chassis tabs to fit onto vehicle but should be ok once sorted

    4 all three lights and grommets fitted into position, don't look to bad and does look as original as possible without costing an arm and a leg. lights $3 each grommets under $2 each.

    Bonnet stay

    Is this the correct position for the bonnet stay? Found the bracket and gave a quick paint in black mat but unable to figure out which position to fit. This seems to be the correct way but want to make sure before fitting please, suggestions welcomed.

    update

    1-2 Fitted and cleaned the bonnet latche to one side (side with guard on) unpainted in original form and condition

    3 top of radiator panel need the rubber strip, will look at original via ebay otherwise clark rubber may do the trick for something similar, 1m length required x20mm wide

    4 finally got around to fitting the bonnet stay/arm, does lock into position but is not the best design, but finally fitted so happy with that.

    As always running low on bolts/nuts so more trips to bunnings to bring back some supplies. Supercheap Auto got me a cheap in line air hose water trap, did some painting and had water in the pipes so that should fix that.

    You need to drain the water out of the compresor tank after each use if you havn't been doing it.

    Bonnet rest strip

    Thx for the air comp reminder but did drain the water and still had excess water in the system, anyway fitted with inline air water trap to fix that issue.

    1. Got onto the bonnet rest strip, and decided/found some left over excess jute webbing from the seat base and glued two pieces together as one piece was too thin, will rivet onto panel and just need some washers for the underside to hold into position. cheaper alternative then buying original. this is it in position and excess will be tucked under the top lip panel for a cleaner finish. hope it will look as original as i can get it.
