Dashboard, fuel guage,fuel cut-off switch

Next winter I'll remove the dash properly and sort out the 50 years of bodges (including mine) as the final wiring should be well planned by then.

It was impossible to get to the fuel gauge thumbscrew so the crash pad was removed and the glove box.

 
The glove box was a previous owners design so some of it may have been easier than normal. 
The broken Bakelite glove-box surround was "repaired" with "super steel" as it's a reasonable colour match. 

Fuel gauge works and gives a more accurate result of what I put in the tank after I last ran out of petrol!
The cigar lighter was also repaired and "converted" to negative earth. Odd that it only works with side lights on.

The heater fan came out because it squeals like a banshee... 

The upper bearing was seized. With much force and WD40 it was released and now all is well. getting the plastic fan off was hardest part.


A fuel pump cut-off (impact) switch and manual isolate switch was added.
