THANKS BUDDAH! I figured that was the case, but thought I'd ask.
I'm sending mine down to a guy in Mass; he wanted me to ask, but he knows what he's doing and he can figure it out for himself too. That's what I'm paying him for!!

No. I just sent the rim and hub to Woody's Wheel Works and had him figure everything out.

Posts: 1416 Charlotte, NC	Re: The Project: Phase 4 Reply #198 - 11/27/11 at 13:55:29 Are there any engine cover bolts on the alternator side that require the black nylon washers? I have three of them sitting here, I know the ones on the clutch side are in place, and I can't find any reference -- either in the Clymer manual or the online parts microfiche. (Or I'm stupid and can't see it.)

I decided I'd rather have the neutral light in the idiot light cluster than the high beam light. No problem, just plug the neutral light into the center hole. But where to put the high beam light? On the headlight bucket, of course. So I got a small LED module at Radio Shack. I would have preferred blue, but they didn't have it in the store.

I drilled a hole in the bucket where it's visible between the gauges. Now I just need to wire things up.

maybe something like this could work:

Posts: 1416 Charlotte, NC	Re: The Project: Phase 4 Reply #203 - 11/28/11 at 09:36:17 Well, I think I have the electrical system all back in place, but since this magical, invisible electricity thing is outside my comfort zone, I've resisted connecting the battery. The coward in me is afraid I'll fry something, like the black box. Or, more frustrating, that it just won't work and I won't know why.

Turned out I had one of the connections hooked up wrong. Not a big deal but certainly makes you nervous hearing the fuse pop. I say go for it.
