[QUOTE="marcusthehat, post: 3836830, member: 61430"] [ATTACH]519476[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519476[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]519476[/ATTACH] see photo, I hope, right-ho, kinda worked, my first attempt to images off my 15 year old camera, on this laptop (rather that at work, where all was configured for me by IT a good No of years ago, so! begod there bes life in the old dog yet!) The larger image, below, I had already re-sized, the rest I used the TFF "thumbnail" feature. Anyway, since the "state-of-the-art" (in 1984) dash no longer properly worked, I merely keep the Rev counter and charge light, and bodged in an oil light. Zero fuses, but note the cunning improvised, and totally failsafe, Isolater switch, the almost eaten away battery clamp has worked like this for 10 or 15 years, simply snug it on with finger and thumb, for winter starts and all, and remove when parking up. N.B. The bombproof battery securing arrangment, & said set-up tested by over-enthuastic winching resulting in the front end a good few feet off the ground, and then the rather sudden descent when I released the winch brake. And the battery did not move. PS The biscuit tin was there simply to keep the camera case in position, so as to give a dark backdrop for the oil light(the clear bulb, the permenant red marker having faded) Note also the blue "steaugh" in the 6th thumbnail image, indicating the engine is running, and the 2 warning lights are now OUT, whay-hey!, a proper electrical genius I am. mth [ATTACH=full]519476[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
