Agreed. My car was never supposed to be a concours winner, so I opted for a period item (from a Triumph 2000 as I recall) that looks OK and does a great job of clearing my screen.

They do crop up occasionally on eBay. Do a search for 1966 Ranchero or Falcon Station Wagon number plate lights. I have a couple in the garage as I bought more than I needed, but they are average quality.

Welcome Adrian. A few Kiwis here.

You have done pretty much the same as I did, except that I added another very small bolt at the front edge as well.

In its original setting, the stalk used to self cancel. However, I removed that facility to get it to fit nicely. I now rely on the indicator light (just to the left of the rev counter) to remind me to cancel. It's in line-of-sight and quite bright, so I don't often forget.

Yes - excellent read Leon. Well done.

Car was due for its first warrant of fitness (MoT) since being certified three years ago. Flew through. Yay!

Welcome back.

A quick spin down to Teretonga (215km south of me) today to participate in one of the two Motorsport NZ sanctioned events I need to do each year to keep the car’s Authority Card current. It was the first major trip outside the Dunedin City limits since the clutch release lever repair and new...

Welcome Gary. I'm in Dunedin. Good bunch on here, with a wealth of knowledge. Hope your build goes well.

Should have added that I am moderately fit (still play competitive sport twice a week).
