You shouldn’t need to remove the dash . I traced each wire tidying up as I went . I added a common earth link under the dash and this fixed the panel lights . The horn which didn’t work was the hardest to fix and that was a faulty earth .I did add a new blade fuse box at the same time so the colour coding was familiar at the time . The ignition wiring can be checked by pulling the ignition into the cabin . Then with cable ties the wiring can be neatly tucked away Paul nb disconnect the battery when playing with the wiring

I like Bilthamber products . Other makers are available Paul

I use this cable for accessories tidying up etc . Cost effective . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195228857564? Paul

I had a similar situation with my Vitesse, I informed my insurance company and they advised the ( Supplier ) was at fault and would provide me with legal advice . Once the seller knows you have taken legal advice they quickly try to settle which happened in my case . Paul

Looking again at the web link this is a different model . My SIP has been on back order for a month and not back on web sites yet unless there has been a model change Paul

Not sure Pete https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/sip-04383-qt100-10-low-noise-compressor.html Paul

Ran the compressor just for test and the noise level is much lower than the conventional oil type , so far so good . I won’t be annoying the neighbours now . IMG_4508.MOV Paul

Made all the difference on my Vitesse . One of the best upgrades I’ve made Paul

New toy just arrived . 100 litre 14 cfm , low noise 59db , no oil Will advise on performance in due course Paul

That’s like mine . Never seen one come up on resale . Look after it Paul

Is it a single recessed handle ? If so these crop up on EBay from time to time £50 ish . Paul

Need a pic to advise plus a pic of the roof fittings . Is it all one piece or 4 sections as you might be able to bring the roof forward . The sun will certainly stretch so leave as long as possible Paul

Just replaced the top vinyl on my Vitesse and refurbed another. New headlining and new top cover for my son’s MGBgt . Any more info you need just let me know Paul

To remove , there are 3 bolts holding rear . Undo from inside and release . Then drag one side at 45 degrees ish and the front section will lease . Do the same with the rear section . Lift off roof covering . Job done Paul

I bought a syringe 200ml added some tubing . Also used for topping up the gearbox and diff Paul

Thanks Phil , this could work well for me . What was the spec for the Sealey air mover ? Paul

Hi just waiting on delivery of a new SIP 100 litre Compressor after the 3 year old little used SGS one spewed oil everywhere . As a newbie to spraying now looking at air extraction to reduce imperfections like dust , flies etc . Any advice as to suitable equipment . I’m using a single garage to spray and can use existing windows to vent . Any advice welcome Paul Just realised I will have power issues as the compressor will be taking a lot of electricity , it’s a 3hp motor Paul

The sill doesn’t line up with the bonnet and from the pic it’s way out . Is it a case of fettling ( posh word for bending the bonnet section ) and or packing the sill ? Both sides have the bonnet overhang Paul
