Default Dashing Around...

Work and the property has kept me pretty busy over the past weeks so not much progress.

When I've had the chance, I've been alternating between pulling down the suspension and misc small tasks.

After a little hunting around, I found a cloth wire that looks close to the faded samples that I have, the original could have been either yellow, tan or this brown colour. I liked the brown colour so went with that.

I've filled in a few evenings by finding all the correct BA screws (this has been challenging and in the end they have had to come out of the UK) and finishing the dash panel.

One concession I had to make was the toggle switches which are new however the toggles are as near a new exact match for the originals whilst the Bakelite switches and plug are all originals, as is the Ford dash.
