Has anyone got photos that show where the wiper motor loom connector fixing bracket is attached too? Is it attached to the wiper motor or the bulkhead?

Wiper Motor Colour Series One

I understand that the wiper motor colour in a series one should be dark gray hammertone, is this correct? Has any one got a colour chart that shows the correct colour?

Dash 12v-10v power supply

Hi
Can someone please identify which is the 12 volt side of the 12v- 10v Dash transformer.
There is a marking "top" on the unit with and "arrow above one terminal, and a letter "B" and a arrow above the second terminal.
One would think that the letter "B is the 10v side is this correct.
Thanks

Seat belts for V12 Roadster

Where can you buy replacement retracting seatbelts that use the same holes in the rear bulk head. I understand that you can get Securon 514/30 units but can they be mounted in the same upright postion with the belt coming from the top of the assembly.
