After a slow restoration to get the old girl back on the road I finally put my LWT in for a speculative Roadworthy (MOT) test to see what I'd need to do to get a pass and she passed first time! I'm not sure whether me or the tester were more surprised. Got her registered and on the road at long last...

In reality the MPH primary scale is more user friendly

That depends on where you live

Yes, they need to stay connected as one unit, so the 'senders' need to be fed from the cabin through the holes in the bulkhead behind the instrument panel. I've just done mine and they are now working nicely.

If you go to Demontweeks.co.uk and look up Samco straight hose reducers, they do a 38mm to 35mm silicone hose reducer in all sorts of colours. You'll just need a metal hose joiner in 38mm too.

That might work.

I too have been doing some spraying, but it's 37C in the shade here today so I guess that's not very helpful to you!

This from the Illustrated Parts Catalogue suggests that the square socket is for the grab rail...

Here's what the bulb holder that fits in that hole looks like on mine (sorry it's not in focus) - it's a bit different to all the others and uses the case of the speedo as the ground. Hope that's helpful for when you're rifling through Sidders' bits

Ledgend! Done

Yes, sometimes all you can do is laugh...

Hi Norman, that's a really kind offer - this forum is awesome. I'm in Australia though, so I'll cover the P&P. I'll drop you an email.
