MrDavo:
Behold, the magic of electrickery!



It was the ordeal I expected, as I previously found when I changed the handlebars and threaded the wires inside them, because the switches are from a later model, some of the colours don't match up. Also, the usual shenanegans when I put the headlamp back in the bowl, and it moves the wires, unplugging something.

I sent Marcel an email thanking him for doing such a good job, he replied that it was a pleasure to restore my guages. Nice to see someone enjoying his work.

She's ready for an MOT now, but the freezing winds and salty roads outside will put me off for a bit.

As an aside to the topic, she is still a bugger to start from cold, IDK why, the carbs were ultrasoniced and new pilot jets fitted, timing and tappets are bang on, all air screws are set at 1 turn out. Maybe when I can get her round to my mate's to get the carbs synched it will improve. I will also get some fresh petrol, though I've always been a bit sceptical when people say it goes off.

mike the bike:
Trust me; it does go off, smells like cough mixture and the calorific value plummets to that of logs.   I've found it doesn't last more than 2 months, after which time I put it in my wife's car.  She drives so slow she doesn't notice.

Sgt.Pinback:
Marcel gauges everywhere  .....

Trigger:
Knocked these out after school with new faces from Marcel  ;)
