Sorry if this isn't relevant to your specific setup or if it wouldn't work at all but I think instead of diodes you could use a double make and break relay. As shown in the picture attaching one sides indicators to 87 and the other side's to 87b would mean they don't connect to each other in normal use. Then switching the relay with whatever dash switch you want and would make the hazards flash all the indicators. I think this is what I plan on doing as it means I can use just one flasher relay for both indicating and hazard flashing

They'll need to be quite beefy diodes- the running current of two 21W indicators is around 3.5A and the initial inrush current can be ten times that with repetitive surges as they flash of around 7A or so. I'd suggest using a small 35A bridge such as KBPC3504 which is only a few pounds and comes with benefits like single bolt mounting and 0.25" spade terminals. Probably total overkill but should be bombproof!

For a negative earth car, take the hazard flash feed to the -ve bridge output terminal and the left and right flasher links to the AC bridge terminals, leave the +ve bridge terminal open circuit (insulate it if there's any chance of an unwanted contact to it). Positive earth car, hazard flash feed to the +ve bridge output terminal.....

Looks to me like the bottom left hand diode has been drawn reversed on your diagram?

Hi
After the car wash in Belper with the Disco.
I treated my canvas on the 2a, to Fenwicks Awning re- proofer.
Always found it quite good to be honest, £20 for 2 bottles, leaves a bit spare.

Finally got around to replacing the rear Diff centre with a front one of one of my parts axle assemblies.

Did not realise how much Faffing is required to remove the front differential.

I almost decided to fit this instead:



but it will wait for the SWB project.

Should be as below.

At least the markings vs connections were OK.

After struggling to start it last week, i soon realised my electric fuel pump wasnt earthing. It's sat in a tin attached to the outrigger in front of the fuel tank. So yesterday i took it off and refitted it and made sure it was earthing properly. All working well now.

Tonka working in ambulance mode....high energy feed for a sick cow.

How's the moo this morning?
I may not have worked on a farm for a few years, but even I can work out that this ambulance may be somewhat inadequate if it actually has to carry a cow... I'm sure its been done somewhere though...

And yes... I do know those aren't cows...

But it does say Moo in the background, are you sure they’re not cows.........😄

Must be getting himself a real 'good looker'as a trade - I mean FOUR camels!! I thought the going rate was one?

This could run and run...

The vet said 50/50 the night before last. She still with us, is eating and drinking, which is a good sign. Mahoosive injection of antibiotics etc.  TLC and fingers crossed.

New water pump was installed yesterday. Today I attached the pulley. I had noticed that on the old pump, the pulley seemed to have a wobble when running.   

So I pulled out the DTI, and a few minutes work on the pulley got it running quite true. The hole in the middle and the holes for the bolts have some room for manoeuvre, a couple of pushes and tugs was all it took.

Filled with plain water and ran up to temperature - no leaks. Now to drain that out to replace the antifreeze.

Changed out the kodiak heater pipe to original Wyrem. I think more authentic looking.  Sourced them from Adrian member here.

Put my Lightweight into long term storage today. Needed the space to work on the 65 SW and also I've taken on a 1969 rebuild. Picked that up today, so my wonderful bit of garage space lasted about 7 hours...
This is what one Lightweight looks like without bulkhead and rear tub...
