Those spoke wheels look great! What’s the issue with them? I may be interested in them. Give me a call: 910.988.9531 Andy

The Wires look great. Did you do what Roy did–re-drill your hubs for Triumph bolt-on adaptors? Or something fancier?

I will be in Southern California in July for the end of MINI Takes the States. I’m hoping that’s true.

Try swapping the wires on the circuit. The parking lamps should be separate and not as bright as the turn. Maybe they are backwards. LED’s can be weird.

Sun Visors were from Moss Motors.  Can’t tell you about whether they interfere with the top,  this is California, No Tops allowed on our cars or women”.

Bill, where did you get the sunvisors? Do they interfere with the top in any way?Kent

Great job, both of you.

Hi Folks, I’ve been messing around with some lower-end (like $6.00 for a pair) of LED lights the last week or so.  1157 double contact directional signal/brake lights to be exact.

I told you I was getting forgetful, I got it at MG Magic, $195.00.

I’ll have to see if I can find the paper work from 2 years ago, at 75 I tend to forget things.

Bill the dash looks great. is there a notch out for the steering column? I cant tell from the pictures.  a friend of mine also told me to look into a wood grain vinyl wrap.  he said you take the dash out, bring it to a wrap installer would cost under $100 and look like a Bentleys interior when its done. has anyone wrapped their dash in vinyl?

I used this to clean up the rats nest.http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/30301Just unplug it to remove the dash.For the wiper and heater switches I used flat four trailer connectors.

Justin,

I just finished making a new dash out of solid black walnut finished with six coats of Sikkens Cetol oil based finish. I have replaced all the gauges with 4.5″ Speedhut speedo and tach. Installed VDO white face Royale gauges for fuel, temp, oil pressure and voltage. I had the benefit of the electrical connection diagrams from the original build…[Read more]

Ed is a genius. I have seen his dash. And he also had the common sense to keep things wired up while doing his woodworking. Do what Ed says.

Dashboard=fun

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to replace my gauges with white dolphin so I’ll have to rewire everything anyway. I’ll def look into the wood grain paint option.
