That looks spot on Aled

Very well done, I don't know if you ever found out what the relais and patching cable were for?

Well the early ones had an alternator with an external reg, the little Bosch (Ford stamped) reg, was once attached via the cable to the alternator.

If you check Jaffa's Return, you'll see in there somewhere that Dasa got an NOS reg, and replaced the Bosch stamped cover on his for the original Ford stamped cover on the one he took off his.

Thanks for the above.....I eventually found out it was a voltage regulator for the alternator as you say. Very intersesting to see the differences in the early cars. I have re-furbed and re-fitted the regulator and may just tie the lead in place. Will look more closely at Jaffa now. Thanks for info

Did a bit more yesterday and today. Timing belt, cover, radiator, some hoses, and just generally dressing it up. Waiting for top and bottom hoses and engine lift eyes off flea bay, and still awaiting the master cylinder.

Does anyone know where I can get some heater hoses from please....I don't want the shiny Samco type hose, just standard?

I'm quite chuffed with the outcome A video I took today is below:
