    Series 1 started with a centre horn button and wires down a hollow steering column. Later Series 1 had a solid column and the button on an arm clamped to the steering column. This continued on through Series 2 and 2a, but was scrapped later as you describe the button went back onto the steering column - the parts book does not give a changeover date or a chassis suffix, but lists them as alternatives. I suspect the side horn button may have continued longer on Australian built vehicles. As far as I know, all from suffix 'C' used the centre push with the new steering wheel, and this was kept unchanged for S3.

    Correct me if I am wrong, the very early S3's had the horn button in the centre of the steering wheel , the later on the end of the indicator switch.

    That makes sence, mines a 75 so fairly late it has an ugly wheel also. Thanks for that, I wonder why they would move it from the wheel.

    No, I was incorrect above. All S3 used the indicator switch. The S3 steering wheel was unchanged from Suffix 'C' 2a wheel to the end of production, except the material was better on very late S3. I have a 1981 S3 wheel on my 1970 2a.

    So, having a centre push button on the early (Series 1 style) wire spoked wheel like I have is incorrect?

    Probably! The two styles for Series 2a with that type of wheel (up to 1967) are listed as alternatives, rather than changing at a specific date or chassis suffix.

    Spent the day footling today, re-did some of the wiring I wasn’t happy with, and finally decided where to put the blinker switch.

    So, a few photos. I know how you like photos...



    Started on the panel for the switch. The oil/temp gauge will go below it.





    Recently we discussed throttle linkages and the rather disconcerting way in which my throttle would not return to idle. This was my take on it... it returns like a beauty now!




    Also mounted a junction box on the inside of the drivers footwell. It’s tidied things up nicely.





    And lastly, the under seat box with relays and fuses.




    Speaking of that box, what a nice bit of kit! I got it from SP Panels in the UK. It wasn’t the cheapest thing I’ve bought from over there, but I wasn’t expecting 2mm stainless steel, weighs a metric ton...

    Blinker switch

    Well I thought this would be straight forward but I'm getting nowhere.
    You would think input from the flasher unit would one of the two at the top, and left and right output to blinkers would be the two sets at the top... not so.

    Advice??
