Instrument Panel

The instrument panel wiring is complete, thanks to the arrival of the bullet connectors, and so have been able to close things up. Still a few minor things to do next week, but for now it's nice to see. I just hope everything works when it has power through it!

In this view central panel, looking a bit better than when it first arrived here over a year ago. Everything is original (including the screws), except for the green warning light cover on the flasher panel, and the new plug in the two inspection light sockets, which will hold the wires from the Casco 'air conditioning' fan when it returns from refurbishment at 3 Bros.. The extra screw at top right is one of the screws that hold the fan to the dash. The yellow dome light pull-knob has been fixed and now works - and have purchased a dome light for when the roof is back on. Gear shift knob has been left in its original condition (as with the other knobs).

Kodiak Mk.II-specific demister vents are also in place. I had to remove a small part of a flange on the forward face of each vent to get them to fit around the fresh-air vent controls, but now they fit perfectly. Still a few things left to do here and there, like a blanking grommet for the clutch slave cylinder inspection hole.

And finally, just an overall view. I hope everything works, and it will be very nice to get in there when all is done, and actually drive!

  2. Hi there. Yes indeed, the white switch is the turn signal. The small green light just above flashes when turn signal in use. The yellow pull-switch above is for a dome light, which wasn't installed on this model.

  3. Been really appreciating your nicely documented restoration. I took on a half done project that had gone off its rails and have used your photos to get a sense of how things go together. My wiring and dash are done. But now with engine in place, realize the choke goes from low right up and across to carb. Your photos confirm. Thanks, Kris
