Small jobs, often we avoid them because they are awkward or easy to overlook.
Case in point, the rear light.
I knew from day one it was broken and managed to find a replacement UK Nova rear light. Slightly different, but intact.
The price resonated really well with me as well, as I support Help for Heroes being ex military as well.
So part of Sunday was spent doing house and garden jobs, including watering Mickey’s wife’s garden and seedlings, she has a lot. I also took my mower around and cut his Tetris-like lawn.
Then back to the Canta, where I knew a job had been waiting, the rear light replacement.
Interior covered in layers of fabric and Velcro, and all glued together, so I “removed” some of it to get in there.
Removed all the connectors carefully with long nosed pliers as they were corroded, and in an effort to be able to reassemble them, used some masking tape to lay them out in order.
Next job necessitated a Stanley knife and a prayer as the old light was glued in with Tiger seal or something similarly brutal.
But I got it out.
Old VS New.
Colours differ nd of course now I have two reverse lamps, so a bright red lightbulb in the fog light side, plus swapping the wires for the sides needs to happen for UK road worthiness.
Interior fitting done, hopefully not going to need to remove it again.
Fitted.
And final result.
It is a small job that took a while to get to, and then the cleanup etc took a bit of time, but I am very pleased.
Once again it shows, small jobs take a load of time.
