The project I had to concentrate on this week was to replace
the driver side hand brake cable.
First I had to undo all the connections to take out
the old one. This nut for the cable sector (seen inside the space) was a pain to get at. Both new and
old cables can be seen.
Over an hour later, I finally got it out and had to dissect the old
cable out.
Once that was done, the cable replacement operation went very
smoothly. The cable fits nicely in the rear at the wheel…
…and inside at the lever, too. It now just needs
final adjustment, which can be done later.
Next I get to turn my attention to the dashboard
project. For the accessory instrument sub-panel, I decided to go with ordering
Lucas type wires so that it would look like a factory modification, and not
some cheap hack job. But British Wiring (where I ordered my new wire harness
from) is out of stock of the thin wires. So I will have to wait to order the
wiring, although my order list is complete.
In our next installment, the lower dash pad will get
installed and holes will be drilled to attach the sub-panel!
Thanks for visiting.
