It's not normal, and would explain why the battery has gone flat!

Jesters were designed to be built around 1100 fiesta and handle brilliantly.

I don't know about the electrics in your kit. The builder may have had his own method of wiring it rather than the usual way.

The machines that I work on have illuminate a alarm light to indicate that the oil pressure switch has not be actuated. The 2 lights on your dash may just be because the engine isn't running, but it is strange why they are illuminating wuth the ignition off.

Perhaps after charging (or replacing the battery if required), the battery light AND oil light will go off. If not, you'll have to run the wires via the ignition, rather than straight from the battery.

I have always wanted a Jester, they were made in Stroud not far from where I worked.

A great little roadster, and I've heard very nice comments on its handling being great in this front wheel drive kitcar.
It's still being made by Stingray Motorsport:
