Positive=flow Negative=return Both must be connected for anything to work. The body and engine etc is negative so you don't necessarily need two wires (guage sender's etc).

Stellaghost Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Canvas fitted, in a fashion Now the in a fashion bit Due to shortening the body many moons ago a swb canvas is now around 10" too long, I've always just made do, but I think that needs to change, hence looking at constructing a new canvas at some point in the future, however I will be looking to modify this one sooner rather than later 16 minutes ago, CwazyWabbit said: Nah, canvas next Need to make Sid watertight @CwazyWabbit has a point, makes a bit of sense to have some weather protection when wiring the clocks, also seats to be fitted shortly, again a bit of weather protection won't hurt Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePointFive Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I wasn't sure when you first showed them but the wheels really do suit it. I'm so impressed how 'right' it all looks, I thought it was going to end up as a very well built, hugely capable, very badly proportioned car but it's all spot-on. Watching it come together has the same mix of satisfcation/admiration of seeing a set of skills at work and the execution of an idea as Project Binky. I am certain you'll find a way to weld a new canvas top. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
