After a long break of nobody doing very much apart from JJ, who has been quietly sorting the finishing touches to the bodywork, touching up the heraldic insignia on the doors, and tidying up the dash, plus making the seriously dodgy looking loom a bit safer by wrapping it in insulation tape, and colour coding the wires, we all descended today.

JJ had been getting frustrated with the lighting stalk/switch, unable to make any sense of the switch in its various positions. Ian showed up today with a replacement switch, so that end worked, but it turned out that headlights had been set up wrong, with one side on dip when the other was on main beam and vice versa.

We'd also had a problem with the brakes, in that the washer which releases the brake lights switch when you boot the pedal, had sprung past the switch body, so was now working backwards, preventing you from releasing the barkes. JJ on a test drive had been going slower and slower so that he barely got home. Those two bits are now all sorted. and she's off for her MOT this week

That just leaves us with the no-output dynamo to fix (the battery has enough oomph to get us to the test and back, and once we're legal, we can drive her round to JJ's electrics guru
