Waiting on the engine hoist....

So i started on the valve cover

#DASTY :-D




 

Carpet set done! Seats one! Softtop done!

 

First step is to adjust the handbrake cable.

And make sure you can adjust it on a later fase. I fixed the carpet one one place.


Softop rivets, seals done!

Nice and tight fit!





found my old head guards and they still fit!

Seats in with carpet below it

Quite happy with the results

Wiper motor Slow - Fast

After looking for a while why the spitfire switch did not work i found this great page from a vitesse

https://vitessesteve.co.uk/LucasStuff/Triumph-2-speed-wiper-wiring.htm

and decided to try it on my spitfire custom wiring:

 



Earth check
+12 V to slow (5) --> wiper motor slow speed
+12v to hi (3) --> wiper motor fast speed

it works, now test the wiring with the park setting



It works. Now where did in put my windscreen wipers?
