Hi Kev,

Thanks to your blog and your wiring diagram I've got my clock running again. I also fixed the speedometer,which was stuck due to the accumulation of thick grease that had probably been propelled up from the cable. A strange thing was that the needle point had broken right off from its base on the shaft. But with some two pack epoxy glue I fixed that too. You photos were a clear guide guide during my repair work.

Under the dash I found a small loose bracket with a double filament fitting and bulb. Is this an under dash courtesy light, because the wire colours seem to point in that direction? Why double filament? Did you find the same thing on your car?

I can't thank you enough for your blog, this way I don't have to invent the wheel all over again.
