Hi all,

Because I hate doing electrical work I took loads of photos of the wiring behind the dash before starting on the replacement of the dash panel with one of Peter Wiggin's versions. All was going well until I found that i. one of the shots didn't register in the camera and ii. another has shadow just where I don't need it. Can anyone help either with a description of the colours or, even better, photos. The areas I'm missing are the wires to the 3 leds between the speedo and rev counter (I can see the wires to the red led but not those below) and the wiring to the side lights, headlights and fog light switches.

Fingers crossed! Thanks.

That helps with the leds thanks but unfortunately not the switches.

Anyone else? I'm wondering if we should put all of the photos that people provide (assuming there are more) in to the Parts List wiki?

I am pretty certain I'll have wiring photos after doing my dash so if you can't find what you're looking for amongst the pictures posted by Colin give me a shout and I'll fish them out

Thanks very much Colin, I think that's enough to complete the wiring.

Barreti, if you do manage to find your photos I'll put all of the shots I have together as an aid for owners who have similar problems in the future.

Thanks Bluebottle and Colin, everything seems to be working now. One last check tomorrow before I fix the dash in place.

Do either of you have any objections to me sharing your photos together with mine to help others in future (always assuming I can get them all up on PH in one go)?
