Guys,
Back from a great holiday and got to spend some time in the garage. Had a CARE package of parts waiting and picked up some more from a local welder/machinist. Now appear to have all the controls and various linkages restored/repaired that were hacked when the vehicle was "demilitarized". Spoilt myself with the instrument panel which is at least one year ahead of the plan. Something to tinker with when the larger components are stalled.
