A little pressie from Derek this morning, taken from his vast collection of custom engines. A set of T handled rocker cover bolts. The Ts are removable & fit on splines, so once the bolts are fitted, the tops can be rotated until they all line up. I'll get them rechromed. Thanks Del.  |

Check back a page or 2 in this thread. I think Hunter said he might be able to get small parts chromed for us through a friend who works in the trade. If so, I'll put together a shoe box sized pile of bits & pieces to be done & get 'em all done at the same time. Failing that, somewhere like the London Chroming Company I guess.

The rest of the 'leccy functions will be handled by a row of clasic Lucas style flick switches. Simplest place to mount them was behind the steering wheel, along the fluted centre strip of the dash. I can reach them comfortably there. From left to right, wipers, washers, fog light & side/headlights. I've also got 4 3mm diameter red 12 volt LEDs, pinched from Flap's trike spares. I'll mount one above or alongside each switch, (I think the fog light switch has to have a warning light to say it's on, so may as well fit one on each switch).
The wiper switch is off/on/on. I've also got a 5 second timer relay, which would give me intermittant wipers. The wiper motor's a 2 speed one. Anyone know whether the MOT regs say wipers need to be 2 speed, or whether I can run a single speed plus intermittant?
For BIVA they HAVE to be 2 speed with a set differential between the 2 speeds ( for those that need to know  ) |

Thanks Kev. Thought I'd heard that somewhere. I'd still prefer to have intermittant wipers, plus a single speed then 2 speeds, (I don't think I've ever used the second wiper speed in my commuter car). I guess I could fit the intermittant relay in the 'leccy box & swap the wiring after the test.
