    What's your plan for the electrical system? I have a 63 2a that runs great but the wiring for the lights is an absolute mess.

    Only one headlight comes on and none of the brake lights or blinkers work. Plus I don't think the high beam switch is working.

    What would you do to fix it? I'm not an auto electrician but mechanically I'm not too bad.

    There is a guy in WA (I think) that makes entire replacement wiring looms.
    AutoSparks in the UK do them as well - but freight is likely a killer.
    When I restored my 2a - I just replaced the entire loom as the original loom was just too butchered.

    Vinwire changed ownership early this year, I'm not sure whether they are up & running now.

    For most items on a Series you don't need to be an electrician.
    I've been sourcing the correct colour wire to repair a harness, just got onto a place in QLD that are about $15 for a 30mtr roll, problem is there are a lot of different colours if you want it done correctly !
    The next decision is correct bullet connectors or some awful modern connectors that stand out like the dogs whatsits.
    Personally I'm using bullet connectors.
