Back again :)
I thought I would have a go at sorting some damage on the casing of my idiot lights, I think the damage was caused by badly routed cables....

I have tried to rub down the area with 240 grit then 800 grit, not finished yet, but it seems to be an improvement.

I think I can get the last couple of small marks out, if not they will be getting filled with black milliput.
More photos when I get it finished.
Cheers,
Bernie :)

I found the instructions for the routing of the harness and cables, so I have been messing around, moving everything about.
Great fun :)

Hi Shaun,
I am afraid it was Bushmills fuelled maddness, I followed the drawings in the manual, then noticed the instructions for what went over/under each other.
So ended up doing most of it at least twice #-o

Bernie it feels like you are getting close to a start, even without bodywork. I cant wait to see the footage on Youtube along with others off the forum
