Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?

Presumably when you checked the VIN here in the UK, it confirmed an export model (AUS) CSW. You say it has zero paperwork so I take it that there's no registration number either? Interesting that a vehicle would be imported 12 years ago and never registered. Not sure what you're supposed to do in th...

Re: LT95 Value?

I sold it to a fella who has fully restored a stage one (well he had it done for him). Seems he had a rebuilt engine fitted which had staged heads and power cam, etc. Unfortunately his builders neglected to match the power of the new engine with his gearbox and diffs and he destroyed them as a conse...

Re: hazard switch wiring circuit

I'll have one somewhere as I fitted a NOS kit some years ago. Two plugs to interpose with the trafficator plug. Two extra wires for the additional (larger) flasher, the flasher and holder and I think one extra loose wire going to the fuse box? Plus what now feeds to the dash centre to plug into the...

hazard switch wiring circuit

Does anyone here have a copy of the circuit diagram for the stage one? I have the optional parts harness which was fitted, but it had some diy relay wiring added by somebody which has made it confusing to sort out. I could really do with a decent schematic.
cheers.

Re: Restoration

Hi, On the speedo under the ring there is rubber or something (what you removed with dichloromethane). Did you replace it with spare or just placed metal ring on top of the glass? Just asking as hit the same issue with mine I've just put it back together without the rubber gaskets for now. I've sin...

Re: Restoration

Rewiring Not much progress today. I only got about 3 hours on it. I started refurbishing the speedometer but gave it up as a bad job before I did something silly like break the glass. It has either glued itself down on the old and perished gasket, or 'that person' has been there before me and used ...

Re: Restoration

Rewiring I bit the bullet and got stuck in to my re-wire today. What a pig of a job trying to neatly route the loom through the exhaust heat shield and connecting up to the starter motor with such restricted access, and having already suffered putting the old harness back in only to be taking it ba...

Re: Restoration

Yep Autosparks. They really took a knock from covid restrictions so accepted the 16 week lead time. I ordered mine on the 8th October last year, so 16 weeks with Christmas/New Year break. I was relaxed about it as I was stopped for winter anyway.

Re: Back In The Fold.

What is about the vehicle that you missed so much that you regretted selling it? I'm intrigued to know in what way it captured you.

Re: Restoration

I've pretty much had to pack up for the winter now. No point trying to spray paint in cold damp windy conditions and I don't have enough room at the moment inside the garage tent. However, I did manage to get the front wings and centre panel repaired and in sealer primer. There's a bit more to do to...

The badge appeared to be riveted in place but ... In fact, it was a simple matter of pushing 2 fixing posts on the badge out from the 2 mounting holes in the panel.
Considering what the originals make now, it might be better if they were riveted in place!
Ooh err!

Re: Restoration

Great to see you making the effort. Ill health is hard to push against. :) Thanks. Yes, things seem to get progressively harder each day, but I'm not in a race to finish; I just want to finish it! 😅 As long as I can keep moving forward, a day here, a day there, I'll get there. It is daunting when I...
