Can anyone help me out with a photo of how the leads are connected up.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

What are you asking for a wiring diagram or are the markings just missing from the battery leads?

Kevin,

It depends if it is a Mk1, 2 or 3. Mk. 1 and 2 had a single 12 volt battery, where as the Mk3 had two 6 volt batteries.

Default Daimler Dingo Mk III

Sorry. I am not doing very well with this post at all.
It is just for the Miniart Daimler Dingo Mk III so I guess it would be the two 6 volt batteries as you suggest.

Cheers
Kevin
