I made and welded on the earthing bracket today, and did a trial fit of the empty cabinet to the headboard. All looks OK to me. A bit of a struggle on my own, and Private Spoons didn't help at all! In fact he just got in the bloody way!!

This picture shows the three fixings for the cabinet and the earth strip. It's very clear that the top two fixings are inside the cabinet and therefore the instrument panel must be removed before the cabinet can be screwed up. Ron

I made cable clamps with some 10mm ally bar. I clamped two pieces together and drilled through the joint with a 3/8" drill bit (two holes next to each other and filed together on the centre two) Then drilled the screw holes and drilled and tapped my panel for 5BA screws. Ron

Ron, that's coming along nicely. I got my decal paper but have been too busy farming to do anything with it yet.
I finally have an 11 set. It came from Australia by sea mail. It took 3 months to get here. The new remote unit A came with it.

Well done on getting your 11 set. Mine is also Australian and probably came from the same source. I sprayed the front of mine with that silicon spray that is used on car plastic bumpers and dashboards. Makes it look almost new again.
If you can manage an extra set of decals? I'd be happy to pay for them.

Done! It looks good enough to me until a real one comes along...... sometime never! I'm able to relax now as I head off for Normandy on Monday for eight days with one of my DR bikes. Ron

Sorry I missed your post Guy. I think I found that lamp on a stall at W&P some years ago. I'll email you a close up picture which you can use to advertise for them. Ron

Default 11 set front panel retaining clips

Gents, does anyone have a spare front panel retaining clip complete for an Aussi 11 set to sell or trade?. (Canadian or Brit ones might be the same).

Thanks.

The British sliding lock is different . The British set has a aluminium case and is generally neater . If you have one of those Aust. sliding locks to copy , its fairly easy to make on a small lathe .

Not sure what you mean with "catch" . Is it the cracked housing with the keyhole shape pictured that the pin or lock slides along ? The British set uses a pressed out housing, rather than that horrible Aust. contraption that you need to find , with the three screws . Mike
