Just a little update on this control box.
I have finally gotten a little part that has been elusive for years.
This humble little red coloured glass reflector or shade is the reason I haven't finished off the box.
The original one that was in it was cracked and a replacement has been hard to come by.
A blanking plate will also replace the gauge that shouldn't be there.





Paul Morton
Hey Norman, if it is that hard to get you should take a cast of it, then you can just cast one out of resin
Norman Julian
Not everyone is as anal as me Paul.
LOL
Robert Stevenson
Norman Julian doesnt take a whole lot of effort to do.
Learn a new skill.
lol

They originally had an ammeter in the hole but this was removed as they often broke the glass.
I have actually started fitting volt meters to check that the bus is charging.
Norman Julian
I stripped this unit right down to its bare bones and overhauled everything
Andrew Blacklock

Norman Julian

John Clarke
I think it's a typo for gauge.
