Default M8 restoration

Hi Lynn and Terry,

Thanks for the replies.

Terry - I have parts manuals for both the jeep and the M8 so I will get them out soon and do some comparisons. They appear the same but I'll check part numbers and ratings etc.

Lynn - yes, it should be a fun project. Lots to do which I am looking forward to. I've attached a couple of pictures of one of the circuit breakers. Yes - the are pictured at the top of the panel. The three of them are screwed together on a plate which is bolted to the instrument panel.

I don't know whether they light up - they just had that appearance to me but I could be way off with that. They appear to function when I check them with a multimeter but I guess until they are connected I can't be sure. I was really just looking to tidy them up with some fresh paint. Pictures on the net suggest they are a reddish colour with a white painted centre.
