So is there a crimp in the harness somewhere?

On another note, how is the clutch master sealed to the firewall? Gasket, sealant, nothing?

So you're saying I might have to replace both connectors to the headlights if the VC connector doesn't line up just right. Also one of the ones to the headlights in the harness looks to be a red 10ga. All the rest of the cut wires appear to be 14ga. There is a plain red 14 ga too apparently

So I'm thinking I'm going to replace the headlight wires in this harness. I will weave new wires in the harness while I rewrap it. What colors do I need? (R/W, R/Y, R, R/B?) What gauge wire matches the factory gauge? Also does the Vintage Connections kit have the correct headlight plugs in it? Thanks C

Carb Part needed 72 roundtop
and if you replace one, I would replace both. Even though they might be expensive. They tend to have some wear in the orifice and a matched pair will be easier to tune and get running right. I might also consider replacing the needles too if they show any signs of rubbing

Huh! I guess I didn't post them...- 1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Are those the headlight plugs they cut off?- 1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Worked on a couple of clutch masters a little more Got the grease cleaned out of one. That is actually one pf the harder parts. Polished the bore with some 1000 grit. Bead blasted the aluminum parts What is the valving at the end of the piston? How does it work? I have this vintage rebuild kit Does anyone know what the finish was on this screw? Yellow zinc or clear?- low oil pressure
If I'm understanding correctly, no it's not normal. Have you looked in the oil filler cap with the engine running? Are you seeing oil slinging around? Did the oil pour our of the hole where the oil sender was threaded when you unthreaded it?- Z's on BAT and other places collection
I agree, thats a pretty low number for a car like that. I really think you are seeing the same freefall in classic car prices we saw in 2008 & 09. Hopefully it won't get too out of hand.- Master cylinder anomaly
How did you decide on what Orings to order?- 1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Thanks Jim I had considered going that route- I decided to chase rust and now I'm here.
I would recommend not doing that on the rotisserie. A jig would be nice too. The progress looks good!- 1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
That's ok, Lucas doesn't have any idea how they would do it either 😉- Parts for Sale: Original S30 steel wheel sets

No, I wont be stock. I have Daves headlight harness somewhere in my shop. Waiting for this car. I didn't know you only needed one functional side- low oil pressure
The oil pressure senders are notoriously inaccurate. I think thos are british standard; npt should work- Yet another mustache bar bushing thread
Yes, I will check- low oil pressure
I agree, check on the side of the block with a mechanical gauge- 1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
I'm not up for reinventing the wheel! Maybe I can bribe someone with diet Mountain Dew to unhack my hacked harness... I hate that! I've had it twice. It took a while to get over the first time. The lingering cough was the worst thing the second time. I probably can't but if I can help some way, let me know.
