Borrowed an arc welder today and welded the new saddles on. My vertical up skills need honing again. Bit like cocky poop but works good. Bit of paint. All good. Was busy today fitting bikini top to bush pig. No pics. Rear wiring tomorrow i think. Loving the spring weather atm...
Ok after a bit of a false start ive done the rear wiring. Tested and all lights work. I know the fuel gauge works and im hoping the low fuel light im fitting will. It works with the multi meter b4 i fitted the sender unit. Ive run the wire for it now. Just need to connect it to a warning light somewhere. Now need to get a couple helpers to help put the tray back on. Its not heavy just awkward for one person. Cheers
So i put the tray back on today. But before i put it on i threw away the original seat belts and fitted the ones i removed from the bush pig (perentie), as the retractor assy bolts were a hell of a lot easier to get too with the tray off. All good. Seat belts work and are in much better condition than the original ones. Now to bolt the tray down. I hope the holes line up in the saddles i welded on. Should be a piece of pee pee to finish it off (the tray).https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa648a3b0e.jpg
Tray bolted back on. Had to drill one hole as was off a bit when i welded new saddles on. Happy with the outcome. Tightened lhr under tray tool box.
So ive removed the rest of tbe dash and wiper motor to clean out and re grease. Ive now fitted new washer nozzles and new hoses. Ive found out that some isuzu stage 1 parts are impossible to get. Ive had to make up my own engine stop cable. What a task. Its done now and it works like it should. It lock in the off position with the steering lock. Cant remove the key unless the stop cable is out. Mr. ADR's will be happy. Im happy now. Gotta still get onto the wiring harness and wiper motor. Not sure what ill do with the dash pad as its cracked. Might just fit a dash mat. Cheers for now...
Good work. Any chance you could post a pic of the stop cable Rod.
I don't know why you didn't buy the Land Rover S3 ign/steering lock mechanism I offered, anyway it looks like you have got it sorted, cheers dennis
Will try to snap a couple today.Quote:

I bought a length of outer cable from a bike shop and used the inner cable of a universal choke cable. I swapped the cable ends over to the new outer which I lengthened an inch or so over the original as it had been cut off at some stage. Then I removed the inner cable from the knob end which is about 9mm thick and about 90mm long. I drilled out where the original cable was squashed in so I could fit the new cable and squashed it again to secure it. Then I fitted it and adjusted to stop the engine. All good. Now when ignition is switched off you can't remove the key unless the stop cable is fully out. See pics. Will look different once the column covers are on of course.
