Additional question for bonus points - how much current are these likely to draw? I have to figure out what gauge wire to send from the boot mounted battery.... Cheers :)

Thanks - I didn't even see that (IGN) there!!

Hey groovers, picked up this starter motor which is P6B orientation. No spade terminals but I assume top screw (wire with red tape) is the 12v to coil ballast bypass and the bottom is 12v from ignition? Thanks for your advice.

Cheers - It was sold to me as an SD1 box, and the pan is no deeper than the BW65 I have in the shed so I'm guessing it's NOT the Jag one.

I get that - unfortunately I'm super-keen on retaining the column shift and bench seat.....I'll leave it as a problem for 'future Rob' for now.

Well dang it I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if I can pull apart the column and cut another gate into the mechanism to make it 6. What would you do?

So is that just a small spade type connector or something more specific? Going to use the Cortina column/shift.

There's something about a slab side Cobra that's so much more elegant than the later versions. BEAUTIFUL!!

Took the switch off - I can't tell if these are some type of female connector or just missing the tangs....might have to open it up.....?

So mine might not be missing spades, but not have them at all? How does it connect to the wiring? REALLY should have thought of this before I put the box in lmao....

Yeah thanks for that - I wasn't sure if it was going to be allowable so thankyou for creating space. I just thought I'd pop up my head as I genuinely missed this forum, but the Corty is my only Rover....ish..... car I have since selling the P6B. Still appreciate the advice, too!

Cheers mate. Yep it's a block off plate I made. I'm using a Davies Craig 150 electric water pump. I had hoped to fit a rad from another make model (trying to limit having custom bits made, and also trying to cut as little as possible out of the car) but there was just no room. I've had to cut a...

Cheers mate - Being sociable is something I need to work on. Both online and IRL lol

Howdy! I've got a BW66 mated to a 3.5. I'm going to run a cooler (no cooler in the rad). Are flexible lines ok or should I make hard-lines? If hard-lines what material is best? If hard-lines what fitting is used to the box - at the moment there's just barb fittings with a hose joining the two...

Hey gang, Long time no see. Thought I'd just post an update as it's finally starting to look like a car. Slow progress is still progress. The engine is a 1985 3.5 that I've had running on a test stand after a 15 year hibernation. Car is originally a 3spd column auto, so I have a BW 66 in there...
