  1. You will need to check that all the brown wires are earths in the CPU. For this you will need an electrical multimeter set to ohms (lowest range) or continuity. Connect the plug to the cpu and measure continuity from brown to brown, the meter passes a low current through the circuit and this will not damage the cpu if connected to the wrong wires. Hopefully all browns join at the CPU if so connect any to any. There might be a few sizes of wire connect big to big, small to small.. Good luck

    Dizzy Amp Wiring

    This wire allows more current in the coil when starting. The amplifier limits the current normally so that the sparks are the same energy at tickover and flat out, older contact breaker ignition systems gave a reasonable spark at tickover and nearly no spark at 6000RPM. It can help when your battery is on its last legs and winter has bitten. Ian

    Sidescreens

    Hood material is what my side screens are made from. I have the frame trapped between 2 layers. They are sewn round a frame. Sewing them is not hard with a domestic sewing machine if a bit of thought is given as to where the seams are before you start sewing. You will need a leather needle in your sewing machine, these can be got from any sewing shop (look up haberdashery in your yellow pages) and rot proof cord. I obtained material and cord from woolies at a show, they advertise in most kitcar mags and do mail order.. Joining the top to the bottom was done by extending the material up about 1 inch above the frame on inside and outside leaving a channel. The bottom inch of the polycarbonate was roughed up with sand paper to give a key and then the polycarbonate had a layer of Sikoflex222 spread on both sides and this glued it into the channel. The ends have come undone a bit and I have bolted a stainless U strap 1 inch high by 2 inches long round the front ends to stop this Ian
  5. The screen is surrounded by 2 pieces of U section aluminum channel. The first goes up the sides and over the top, the second goes along the bottom. The glass should have a rubber strip in the channel seperating it from the aluminium. The bottom and upper halves of the channel should be joined by a (from memory) 2inch long by 1/8 inch self tapper screw, one fitted each side. This is fitted horizontaly through the sides just missing the bottom of the glass and into the bottom rail. This assembly is then held to the uprights by 3 short self tappers per side and the upright by 2 bolts per side to the scuttle. The bottom rail should touch the scuttle at the rear bottom but has a gap at the front bottom due to the angling back of the screen This is filled with sealent as Allan says in his reply. Thats how I did mine after watching the video. Ian
