#1 More Cabling Questions...

Post by mylesw » Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:18 pm

Hello

I have a few more basic questions (should have taken more photos when I dismantled it!)

- Do the fibre washers on the pivots for the central gauge panel sit between the panel and the dash side pieces?
- For a RHD drive car I believe the speedo cable goes out of the big hole at the top of in the inner bulkhead and then out of the lower on the outside?
- The choke cable comes out of the hole next to the steering column? Are there any more clips on the inside to secure this cable?
- Where do the wires for the brake bottle level sensors run?
- on the body harnesses I got from SNG there is a plastic sleeve - does this go along the floor section or in the rear wing section of the harness...?

Quite some detailed questions I know but I'd be grateful for any advice!

Thanks

Myles

The wire to the brake level sensors and the wires to the wiper motor exit through the bulb head to the right of the engine bay as younsit in the drivers seat....really just about where the wiper motor is.

#6 wiring

Post by cactusman » Sun Jan 24, 2016 8:10 pm

Mine is a 1962 RHD 3.8. The wires to the wiper motor are probably the same whether RHD or LHD but obviously the brake sensor wire would be different for a LHD car. Afraid I cant shed light...
