So after a few hours tidying up the garden and filling a wheelie bin to its pressed down brim, I had a coffee, chatted with Dennis about the new steering wheel and the fact that some brain surgeon in the past had refitted parts of it upside down, I also need to buy some more parts, including the horn parts and indicator cancel.
I am sure this cat has a camera or microphone up my butt.
When I left the house after chatting to Dennis, she as sleeping on a fluffy blanket in the lounge.
Before I could even remove the light and lenses, she was down there, shouting at me before settling down on a piece of carpet I use when crawling around under the truck.
So I started one side, and found 5 cut wires and about as many badly connected wires.
The cold made the wires very stiff and my fingers slow, but it was a job like many others that needed doing.
Spaghetti a-la Brain surgeon.
I initially covered up all the cut ends and heat shrunk their ends and then used a white marker to mark them off.
Once I had spliced and soldered the wires, I slipped the heat shrink over the joints and using a lighter completed the actions.
Passenger side done.
Coffee time again.....
Check internet, check Tinder, check forums, back to work.
Drivers side, as bad as the other.
And once finished, one more heat shrink to slide over the join and heat up.
A bit tidier in my opinion
Finally I decided to test the lights, brakes and wiring, using modern technology as Harley had at this point gone back indoors, it was dark and cold outside, so she was a sensible girl, leaving me to test alone.

That concluded this wasted weekend.
Back to work tomorrow.
