:( Yesterday i found the source for a very intermittent high pitched squealing noise...... seems the bearings in the alternator are not happy there............and when noise happening, voltage drops from 14.1 to 12, sometimes to 0. Its only been going for 8 years ....... Well its time to get another alternator built to requirments :D

Made some more windscreen wiper escutcheons (the rubber thingys) for 1968-78 wiper setup.
I machine them from black HDPE plastic, they won't split like the originals (now NLA) do.

Installed central locking as per Pristic's instructions. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=640826#640826
From start to finish it took less than 1.5 hours. Works great.
