Electrical Components

With the engine now running pretty reliably -it still is idling weird and doing weird things, but that comes down to carb tuning, which I'm crap at- I need to go about fixing the systems that make the car drivable on the road... you know, legally. That means working headlights, blinkers, windshield wipers, and in the winter I'd like a heater.

So the easiest solution was to remove all the electrical components from the bodywork and bring them into the garage to bench test.

Once All the lights (which in the case of the headlights was a colossal pain in the arse) are out I set out testing them on the battery. Both headlamps work, both auxiliary lights work, and a single blinker worked. So I've got a blinker, and all four indicators to repair. I'm thinking therefore of replacing the blinkers and indicators with LED bulbs. We'll see how that goes but in the meantime I'm cleaning up all the components to be nice and shiny when they're all put back together.

It's still a little pitted, but that's honestly only noticeable when there's a flash, normally I can see my face in the chrome, which is a HELL of a lot better than it was.
