Also my brake rebuild kit arrived too; hopefully my brakes arrive tomorrow and I can start the refurb process.

Apart from the starter issues today my new crimper showed up so I crimped up a new battery loom.

think I've solved this one myself after reading various right-ups on auto conversions. Just need to bypass that switch which I now know is in the drivers side wheel arch.

anyone know where the starter inhibitor is on a rhd zed ?

Been reading up on a few oz forums and I believe that my zed thinks its still an auto so as part of the auto to manual conversion I think we need to bypass the starter inhibiter switch.

Here's is the loom I have installed and what confuses me is the small loop cable you can see in the middle. As I don't remember connecting that anywhere.

Not that i noticed. Dont have any bulbs in my headlights to test them. I have a wiring specialties harness and i thing something might be wired wrong with it.

Due to snapped loom on my solenoid I need a replacement. Anyone got one ?

no click so something but still be disconnected or wired wrong. Interior wise all my lights work but now when I put my front fogs on the dash illuminates which I don't remember ever happening before. All wipers work fine and tested front washers and the new jets I bought are awesome. To try and diagnose the issue I took the drivers side wheel off to get myself underneath but I only had the scissor jack and didn't trust it any higher. However I did find another unrelated fault in that the power steering solenoid looks buggered.

Windows, interior lights, indicators, fogs, wipers all work just no ignition.

Ok, three out of five were wrong, in that the colours changed between the harness and ignition. I now turn the key and have power but no ignition, not even a sign of trying to turn over.

Seen those before but something doesn't add upp. When I turn the key to acc I get some internal lighting above head but nothing else, no lights on the dash either but if I turn to start I get full power but no engine start. Windows only work while forcing the key to start so that suggests something back to front.

Ignition issues now! Tried to start her up and get power only at the ignition stage. So looks like i have a wiring issue. Anyone got a picture of the rear of the ignition to compare? I think i have two wires round the wrong way.

UK Quarter glass getting fitted and when its set I'll attached the new trims :

Found them on ebay, thanks everyone

rebuild kit ordered and when the brakes arrive ill take plenty of pics and update my build thread.

yeh, That's the daily driver but it belongs to the wife ! It was at JAE last year but had to park it in the carpark after the first day as it was spotted, lol

Would it not be too late if you are dead and defeat the purpose of having the switch ? :)

The old callipers are cast iron and badly corroded so not worth it to anyone hence why I have this issue. I'll get the callipers from banzai and order the rebuild kits for them and tackle it myself as doesn't look that hard to do.

Four more clips arrived today so nipped to the garage and fitted them to the water pipes. Ready for the coolant refill shortly.

Going for replacement callipers from banzai for now. Any ideas where to get a rear seal and piston kit ? Don't seem to see any on ebay.

Need to buy a few of these in various sizes to replace worn / broken and missing ones from various panels. Anyone actually know what they are called so I can do an ebay search on them ?

never thought about that so may buy the ones pete mentioned for now.

great but just paid £200 for all new discs and pads. :(
