Jase Posted April 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Looking for some help with wiring, heater wasn’t working, could anyone tell me which terminal the black wire should be attached to and am I missing a third wire? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Easy one - attach it to the unused terminal, Right side on your last photo. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jase Posted April 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Have another, cracked H frame, how can this be repaired? Araldite? Thanjs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I don't think so ! The base looks well corroded, & it would have to be to break like that. I would look for another one. The scuttle could be suffering from excessive shake, which would put strain on the frame, but the base must be very weak to have gone like that.

Seriously though, there is potentially quite a lot of stress in these H Frames - sometimes you have to literally jack up the dashboard to get then to fit so in those cases they are under a lot of tension. Alternatively, as Bob says, scuttle shake will similarly put quite a lot of lateral pressure on the mounting points. Ideally it needs alloy welding but that will destroy any sort of remaining covering. I suppose you could araldite it provided you fitted a strengthening plate on the inside, better still also reinforced with say bolts or self tappers. Good Luck cheers Rich PS Sorry about the mis-orientated photos - I have no idea how to change these once on the Forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Judging by the state of it you may well want to look for a replacement, TBH I dont think Ive seen one quite as rotten as that! Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks, will keep an eye out, ideally will want one I can cover myself. Quite pleased with the floors, some welding but pretty solid throughout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thought I’d ask on my thread first. Does anyone have a spare H frame for sale? Doesn’t matter about the vinyl condition as I will be recovering. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My car was originally conifer but I like the darker green, does anyone have a code for the darker BRG please? Unfortunately there is a thousand shades of both BRG and Conifer and they are all hard to match, talk to your nearest body shop and ask them if they know anyone with a spectrum analyser as that will be the best way to get a match on a non standard colour, one so called BRG car I had to do a while ago came up as a dead match to a Fiat colour!

Jase Posted April 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Thanks Stuart, should have ordered that glue when I ordered the trim from them I have an excellent paint shop I use so will pick a BRG shade. Only after brush on for the floor for the time being but would want to match when I eventually paint the body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just noticed I’ve lost a side light cover, can these be purchased separately? Also fitting LED bulbs at the moment to the dash, the main beam light is flat, do you have to screw this in all the way? If so how, all a bit flat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 While I’m asking about LEDs where will I find the relay? Guessing under the bonnet which I can’t lift at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfg Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 The original relay is in the top corner of the passenger footwell, the other side of the bulkhead from the wiper motor. Screw bulbs go in enough to make contact and then just about half a turn more. The friction in the bulb's thread, even when smeared over with Vaseline is enough to hold it in place. Side light lenses I guess are available, and by the look of it you'll also need new rubber seals for under bulb holders as these not only keep water out, but their slight compression also stops the cover from twisting and falling out. Very likely you'll find the rubbers behind the headlamp lenses also old and perished hard. They likewise need to be elastic to allow the headlamp rims to click into place.

Jase Posted April 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Well I went for BRG BLGN29 way to bright, I have got used to the dark green on the car and a close match seems to be Connaught Green. Edited April 22, 2022 by Jase Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfg Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Jaguars used some really nice, and dark, BRG's. Perhaps one would suit your needs and be easier to identify.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Seems to be a Morgan colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 You will chase your tail forever trying to colour match it unless you get the colour spectrum analysed as I sad earlier. Its a particularly difficult colour to match along with red and Yellow. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thanks Stuart, I’m happy with near as dammit, the car’s bodywork is rough but I’d like to get close as I like the darker green. I can then match the bodywork up to a definitive colour I’m happy with. Wouldn’t normally have purchased a green car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m a bit lost with this carpet, any advice how to fit? Assuming it is for the rear deck. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Also, which side should I stick to the wheel arch? Guessing it is the white fluffy side????? Thanks again everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
