Starter Motor Wires / Stator Wires (Day 63)

Not sure is this is a conventional wiring set up. Looks to me like stator wires have been soldered here as I can't get them apart. I am going to have to give them the snip. They were also well taped up.

Instrument Holder Frame (Day 63)

Instrument holder frame removal.

Retaining nut washer and rubber mounting.

Instrument Removal (Day 59)

Took the instruments off today.  Nuts, washers and inside of chrome backs are badly rusted but retrievable.

 Now there has definately been something living in here.  Looks like a silk worm.

 Chrome backs are not too bad on the outside.

 But on the inside . . . . . (lost one of the retaining nuts - poo!)

 Not nice.

 Now I suspect that the silk worm is responsible for this stuff on the speedo lens.  This is good news as I will not have to replace it . . . .

 But I will still have to get in there somehow.  I saw a video on YouTube some time ago about how to replace the glass.  Looks like I will have to prize this retaining ring off - without damaging it.  Fat chance!

Speedometer

Speedo lens looks like spiders have spun a web around the outside of it.  I am sure this is not something that is inside.  It is more like stress marks in the perspex lens of the speedo.

If you click on the picture it will take you to a bigger copy where you can clearly see what has happened.

Is it likely that we can find spare speedo lenses?
