Loving this page. After been stalled for a few months on finishing a 68 Leyland project someone else had started I have already had some good wins since the page was restored, getting me on track for RWC this weekend.

My one sticking point is the passenger stop light. I can see that the wire is not connected to the terminal, so should be an easy fix. Is there a way to remove the light assembly with out removing the fuel tank? I get that not alot about these cars make sense, but this seems crazy.

Thanks

A long spanner and a magnet to catch the nuts should see you through.

Is that to remove the nuts on the tail light fittings? Can not see how I will reach the outboard nuts.

That's how I do it.
Or you can undo the fuel tank strap and tilt the tank over. you don't need to pull it right out of the boot.
