John S's Journal

Added a few more things when I had a spare minute or two. Turn indicators went in but that isn’t the end of those. Brittle green threaded @#$&%-*$$! Who designed that set up? Anyways, one broke off almost entirely and the other one isn’t much better. Neither one has enough threads left to accept the bulb holders on the backside. Managed to Super glue the one to at least be able to insert into the dash so both appear correct but won’t light up if left that way. Sourcing some from the B,S, & T forum hopefully. Got the fan switch in but the new dash pad with the foam behind the vinyl in the gauge fascia made fitting all of the gauges and switches a challenge due to the added thickness. Some more than others. Had to pick a lot of the foam out around the mounting holes to get it so that things would fit. Poor design on the new pad. I would like to see just an added layer of vinyl bonded to the fascia instead of the rigid foam. Heater and vent knobs are on but one won’t click in because of the thickness. So, the only things left to cut in are the Ignition and High Beam indicators which I’m also hoping to replace.
