Re: Scruffy's Scrappers
I think so.
Mine will have Minilite replicas on when (if?) it eventually gets back on the road.
I've repainted the Rostyles too many times and even then I'm on my 3rd set.
I'm sure a fair number of people will hate them but they'll probably notice the shitty rattle canned paintwork first and won't be able to tear their eyes away.

Re: Scruffy's Scrappers
Sic. My old man has got zero attention to detail, as long as he can see bits of wire and they're shiny that'd be good enough for him tbh. For me, wheels can pretty much make a car but it's all down to personal taste, if you like them and it's your car fuck what anyone else thinks
Chadders. Sounds like you've got that covered already lol.

Re: Scruffy's Scrappers
This afternoon I have mostly been messing with this and still can't get a spark. I've filed the points, cleaned any electrical connections and was the I can find and tested the coil, condenser and plug with a 9v battery. Still fuck all. The points are reading 1 ohm across them and there's an output to the condenser but can't read it because digital multimeter...
Any suggestions for a simple test of the output? Hooli maybe? Looks like I'll need a small two toe puller to get access. Donkeys years since I've messed with anything like this.

Re: Scruffy's Scrappers
Errrm..
A test lamp across the coil connections should go out as the points are opened to prove there isn't a short in the low voltage side.
