managed to get a rh switch of the correct type, but thought i would sort the sump out as the one i had vapour blasted turned out to have a crack at the drain plug, probably caused by over tightening. I have a spare which i think is the original Lazarus one because it has a welded repair in the exact same place. As it looked solid I decided to use it but did a bit of grinding and sanding to make it look better. Now fitted so fill up with oil, now why is oil leaking all over? Oh S##t i forgot the sump plug! What an idiot! 2 ltrs of oil oll over my bench and the floor, what a mess. Will I now be struck off from the SOHC forum or be demoted from expert to newby, or a new category of F-in idiot?
So continuing with the electrics I have a new battery fitted and starting to connect things up. Not fully assembling for now but checking everything works. I have starter motor, front lights and idiot lights all OK. I tried turning engine over to see if oil pressure light went off but not yet. I recall some discussion about priming the oil pump? Not ready for starting yet as cards need rebuild but getting there slowly. Oh has anyone got a spare positive battery lead for sale as mine is wrong.
