LP2A SAR 4993 rebuild

I see you're going to have two tone horns, nice!

Also your road wheels look kind of racy...

Spare horn now on another carrier.

Not sure about the diameter of the road wheels or if the alloy will handle the load.

I’m in the process of wiring the dash for the LP2A and wanted to use the original style cotton covered wiring.
From all the information I have it seems all the wiring was the same colour, (base yellow) with a metal clamp sleeve to identify what colour it is and where it goes.
Does anyone have information different to this?

There may be someone here on the forum who can assist you with the restoration of your dash.

I've noticed some listings on Ebay for reproduction vintage wires with the various coloring and markings. Means it's available somewhere.

This listing is for some wire, check his other listings for different wire and other little bits that come in handy!. No connection etc.

In the UK, I use Electrical Engineering Services 01204 884383 email (no web site). He does a range of cotton covered colours and sizes. I use mostly just black for my motorcycle restorations with his little coloured ID tags.
We also have Aoutosparks for classic wiring looms in any shape or colour www.autosparks.co.uk/
I'm sure both these firms will ship overseas.

I have now answered my own question, after removing the wiring conduit and remaining wiring I found the wire was of different colours. The rear lights were red and blue wire as per manual.

Over the last couple of week with the help of MLU member Cameron Reid we finally welded the patch panel into the side of the carrier.
I have also rebuilt the missing rear bin self and tool rack.
All welding now complete it time to sandblast the hull at last.

[Keith Webb]

Having inspected it myself, Cameron has done an absolutely amazing job with the welds - an artist with a stick welder!

Now the rear tool rack is in place I just need the centre latch to complete the repair.
The first pic shows the latch I need if anyone has a spare.
