Got some more done on Sunday, ran the wires for the front indicators, rewired the column switch, installed a new flasher unit and working indicators.
Stripped and cleaned the OE light switch, got all the contacts working and worked out the switching order to wire up rear tail lights, next up the headlights and dimmerable dash lights (what luxury)
My poor 59 Apache which has become a bike park to give me some more floor space. if the weather is good Friday off to the local Hot Rod meet, so will need to clean it up ready for that.
