If you want a waterproof boot for over the lamp socket, the distributor end of a spark plug wire will fit over it.

Thanks for the photos Paul. They really helped me and I’m sure others will benefit from them.

OK then!! Paul it is, and just call me Cliff 🙂 Thanks agene for the info.

Ha. I answer to just about anything, but let’s go with “Paul”  😎

Allen, I promised pictures. Hope this helps.

Well my update is there is no update.  😉

In all seriousness though, I’ve got a few things I need to do to Zella first thing this year.  I’ll be getting some tires ordered this week and hopefully a hydraulic clutch kit as well.  The fact that my wife is every bit excited as I am to get her back out on the road really helps my progress.

I’ve not heard of anyone having a problem with the taillight wiring this way. A split loom taped with electrical tape should be fine. My car just has the tape. The tire is way ahead of it. The tail light has a rubber cup behind it, in the fender well, that the wire passes through. Keeps out the gunk the tire throws up–so far, anyway.

Hmm. Good thought. Murphy does seem to stick his neck where it doesn’t belong.

The majority of gauges are installed like this…

Its just a matter of getting your had back in there.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

I would not recommend glassing in wires because some guy named Murphy will come for a visit and you have some reason to replace or adding another wire to the bundle

Original routing of wiring on my FF was electrical tape about every 6″ and then routing the bundle of wires through “c” clamps wherever a bolt held body panels to the chassis. I got rid of tape and put the wires is corrugated split wire loom and then used tywraps to secure the loom to the chassis/body.

Paul. That is how the harness I made is run; out the body tub into the engine compartment and along the rear valance horizontal mount, then to the fender well. Like Kall, I’m nervous about the wires being near the spinning tire. I was thinking of glassing in the wires to protect them as I think the tail light wires may be far enough from the…[Read more]

Probably two nuts holding a “U” clamp that is keeping the speedo in the dash. You also have a light and of course the speedo cable that will have to be removed.

I posted this three years ago when I was working on that stage of my TDr:

“IMHO:A basic problem on my FF was that both front and rear lights wiring ran loose and unprotected on the underside of the fenders to the connection point with the lights. I decided that this was a potential problem because the connections could vibrate loose or in the…[Read more]

So it’s definitely the speedo.  @toller has one that he is sending me an old one he has so I will try to replace it.  Can anyone give a hint of how to go about removing the old one without causing too much damage?  I’ve looked at it but can’t figure it out.  Below is a pic of what it looks like now.…[Read more]
