Well I have had a couple of good days on the packard. I have completed the rewire of the dash board and I have got this fitted back into the car. I have also got all the wires connected up. I am waiting on a signal switch to arrive to fit to the steering column. I can then get these wired up. I am also waiting for 2 six volt fog light bulbs, and also the new reversing lamp. Next job will be to fit the new glass but still waiting for this to arrive.

The new hot water hose arrive on Friday so I have now got that fitted, ive plumbed in the defroster, and the heater that is under the drivers seat.I have also sent off all the Glass to be copied and cut.

Thank for that.

Hello Ross, Thanks for that. Something i have spotted on the wiring is that the parking lights we call them side lights the fronts come from the light switch but the rears from the instrument light switch was there a reason for this. I was going to wire them to come on with the fronts. Any views welcome. Thanks Howard

Hi does any body body have a wiring diagram, i have a link for one but the writing is not very clear, i need a diagram of the complete layout. Also does any body know if its possible to refit the light and other switches once the dash is back in or should they be fitted back into the dash before the dash get bolted back into place. Thanks

Hi Thanks for that, I cant remember one of those bars being there, but thats a very good point thats another thing to fabricate. A sunday morning job I think. Thanks Howard

Well I have got the new front fog lights fitted, and the siren and the blackout light. If any body can help I am need the panel the bolts down to cover the gap in front of the radiator. here is a pick of the front and the gap that is in front of the radiator.
