Instrument Panel

I have fitted the instrument panel, wiring loom, ignition switch and indicator stalk. I have found that the SIII diesel ign switch that I aquired to replace the original petrol switch (so that I would not need the heater plug switch fitted on the seatbase) is no good – the switch positions do not allow for the ancilliary circuits to be live while starting. This is fine for a 10J engine, as the fuel is controlled by the stop lever. On a 12J or 19J, it’s a big problem, as the circuits need to be live during starting to open the fuel pump’s stop solenoid. I’m going to refit the petrol ign switch, and move the heater push-button switch to the lower facia, immediately left of the steering column shroud.
