The wiring has all been stripped back to the basic system and repaired. Most of the instruments and switches are re-connected with just the speedo to go.
I have added an extra 2 position toggle switch to the left of the heater fan switch to control any auxilliary engine cooling fan I fit later. This fan would assist the belt driven fan which will be retained. The top right switch operates the ligths normally, and directly powers the instrument lights, and with side-ligths only selected, the spare terminal powers the rear worklamp (preventing me from driving at night with the worklamp on). The original isntrument light switch now controls the fog lights (those ugly illuminated pull-switches fail far too often). The 2 speed wiper switch and 2 speed fan switch are as normal.
You can see that I have dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt the temp/fuel guage assy. I decided to paint the rim silver as they were well in need of tidying up and will be more in keeping with the chrome plate rimmed Smiths engine auxilliary instruments to be fitted in the centre of the dash. Not quite as pretty as the Croytech stuff for Defenders, but similar.
