Here is that vintage headlamp I may have mentioned earlier.
Well any ideas on what this is off?
I got sick of tripping over the tow ball and pin so many times, that I
had to put it on the car so I didn't break my foot on it. I did double
nut the bolts to be on the safe side.
Here is what the old tow bar used to look like on the car!
As you can see the old swan neck was too high it obsecured the number
plate. So another reason for it to be changed.
And the reason I was in the shed tripping over the tow bar ball and pin?
A nice chap with the user "nameministockneon" on the neons.org forum
had sent the plug I needed for the idle air control valve, and it arrived
by the post this morning.
So it was incentive to make a start on Christine's electrics again.
After cutting and soldering the wires, the IACV plug was plugged in along
with the throttle position sensor. Starter and alternator cables rerouted
cut and ends soldered ready to be terminated at the battery.
The TCU(transmission control unit) was bolted in place, the battery was
slid into it's tray. I then popped the air intake and filter onto the throttle
body to make sure the bonnet would close properly.
I know I still have a lot of sorting out when it comes to the wiring around
that area around the ECU and fuse board. Although the bonnet closed
easily, I will not truly know if the filter will rub on the underside of the
bonnet until the engine is running.
As that much stuff has come back from clearing the relatives house out,
there is no access to the welding sets in the garage. So the exhaust is on
hold for a while.
