Yes I just finished putting in a '69 tacho so this one is for sale. It is in perfect condition, inside was just serviced a few months ago

- Ignition changed to 123 digital ignition
- Added a new fuse box + relays
- New spark plugs, coil and leads
- Changed the alarm light switch and indicator relay since old stuff was not OEM and broken
- Changed the radio for a 1966 Blaupunkt Frankfurt + noise filter EF-20 + new antenna
- Changed the front indicator fittings for bay15d so I can have US lights. after all, it is an original US car.
- Added fog light switch
- Changed the windscreen wiper to a 2-speed wiper (OEM of course, motor + switch)
- Changed the windscreen washer pump from air pressure (from the spare wheel powered) to electric one from a Mexico Bug + modded switch to take a microswitch + relay
- Changed the light switch to a 1968 model with logo
- Added a low tone bass horn to accompany treble horn
- Fixed the front windshield heating (repaired the cables operating them)
- Fixed some rubbers
- Cleaned the tectylation from the boot (front compartment)
- T5 blue LED in the high beam indicator

Some mods upcoming:
- Other instrument cluster with warning light for low beam, heated rear window and ATF temperature
- Brake circuit warning light (will use ATF temp light for this)

Next job is to change the brake light switches from 2-pin to 3-pin versions and I'll be doing that on friday.
Will also add a nice rubber 'hat' to cover the connectors.
