make sure you buy 1 with a (euro connecter) on the weling gun, makes replacement alot easier in the future as they are available from most good welding supliers or motor factors  |

a little more done today, stripped out the dash, steering columb, wiring loom, steering box, brake pipes + master cylinder , wiper motor, chassis plates , engine mounts and various other odds an sods, only bizzare thing ( to me anyway) was the brake pedal switch, it fits under the pedal box on a small metal plate where its collected 60yrs of water and rubbish  and needless to say its in a hell of a state!! , anyone recognise it , is it used on any other models?? |

i also cracked on with the front inner wings and getting them into etch prima, i use aerosol etch as its nice and thin and it shows up any cracks which aprilias suffer with........ guess what.......i found some!!! couldn't be seen clearly with the naked eye but the etch soon showed them up, if i'd used a heavy prima it would simply have filled over the cracks which obviously isn't the best i also made some bumper mountings and fitted them as they were missing on the n/s |

brushable seam sealer was applied over any previous repairs on top of the etch prima, next step will be to get the engine bay to the same stage then apply some colour  theres a bit of welding to do in the back of the glovebox / bulkhead area first, looks like the screen has leaked into the glovebox over the yrs and its made its own drainage system ( about a 7 inch slot!!) at the bottom of the glovebox |

hi brian , there are 5 levers in total ithink they are for fresh air vent starter fuel tap choke hand throttle if you look carefully you will see a silver lever between the two black ones, pretty sure thats the fuel tap and the other 2 are hand throttle and choke, middle of dash lever is air vent and next along to the right is the starter lever, its a bit like a signal box behind there lol |

Great to see it progressing.
I loved all those levers as well.
What specific etch and seam sealer do you use?

Another thing about those levers - levers just like that with black spherical blobs on are familiar to me from the Aprilia. For the Aprilia they hang below the dash – one for the starter and the other for the hand-throttle. And then 30 years later a similar lever and knob is used on the Fulvia for the choke control.
It pleased me to find such continuity of detail.
Keep up the good work Chugga!
Colin
