 Swambo has already had her 5C about  her driveway ,Took me longer to clean the mess ,
 than the painting .Didnt know 2k bonds so well to brick .

Looking good ! (and I don't mean the paving  )

 Removed Manifolds .Drilled out Broken Ex studs and fited new ,Removed Hot Box flap and
 sealed off ,Fitted 4 new Helicoils on Inlet for carb ,Amazingly Manifolds not warped at all so just refitted back with High Temp Silicon .
Removed and stripped all seats down sent frames  for sand blasting ,need a few springs to be made for front seats .Not bad after 44 yrs .

 Painted front section Chassis ,and inside cab bulkhead .
 Removed fuel tanks for clean and paint .Stripped steering box fitted new seal on output shaft ,and modified input shaft to accept a seal .No seal originally so dirt and water can get in ,
 Stripped Clutch master and Slave cylndrs honed out and fitted new kits ,Housings no pitt
 marking at all ,Removed both propshafts to get checked out .Original UJs still in with Toyota, logo on UJs ,didnt know toyota made UJ,s ,And all feel good except slight play on sliding yoke
No vibration so maybe leave alone . .

[Rob Wright]

 Removed Gearbox ,checked out clutch ass all still good ,readjusted pressure plate fingers and
 refitted box ,Changed rear G/B seal and relined handbrake shoes ,Made up new brake piping and fitted T piece for dual system from new mastercyl .Started on wiring needs lots of patience on this issue . :

 Advise Needed with light switch .
 Light switch is not the pull type but turn type .with 3 on postions
Off being in Centre .
 1 postion to the right activates tail lights only .
 1 postion to the left activates park lights and rear tail lights .
 2 position to the left  operates headlights and tail lights but no park lights on .
 Park lights on this model use the 2 bib lights and the 2 fender lights .
 Is this correct how i have wired it up ,this is how it was previously but the wiring at the back of the switch looks like it has been played with .The conections on the back of the switch are as per your household plug type ie push the wire into the hole and tighten screw .No male and female sockets on this one .Cant access any manual for this Oldie .

 Thanks JT .
 Will have a look over the weekend to see if wiring matches ,had a diagram from Mud a few of the wires were different colours to theirs .maybe this one closer .
I dont think anyone on Bezel has one as old as this 40 to try and find out about functionality
of that switch .Maybe thats how it suppose to wek .

Will have a look at Skadonk when PS is back from leave - again.

 Am putting Hooter button back to original instead of previous button on side of steering column ,Made up and fed new wiring down the inside of column to the slip ring .was very lucky
 to find the 1 very critical piece from an old scrap cab out in the townships .
