Ok, got a bit of a problem with a temp gauge.
While doing the MAD electrical upgrade/bypass of the ammeter as mentioned in a previous post I installed a VDO volt meter, I also had a matching temp gauge and also an oil pressure gauge, so I thought it was a good idea use all three.....connected them ...

Hi, can anybody give me a definitive answer on whether I need to have seatbelts in my car for the MOT.
its a 68 Dart, when I bought it, it had a current MOT but no seat belts, its been of the road for a few years for various reasons but now its about ready for an MOT and I'm not convinced ill get ...

Mate, took front and back out of my 68 Dart myself and reinstalled using the original rubbers. Didn't have any problems leaving both refits part fitted over night.
Maybe others with far more experience would disagree, I may have been lucky.

Thanks Mr T and Mr G,
Ok, followed your instructions Dave and both voltage readings are the same so next step is the new VR, see what the score is then !
thanks again for the advice fellas.

Dave, forgot to ask, when you did the MAD electrical ammeter bypass did you fuse the alternator feed to the starter relay ?

Thanks Dave, no electronic ignition at the moment and as far as I can tell, the wiring looks unmolested, so like you I've gone ahead and ordered a new VR but I will take your advice and go back through the loom and also recheck the earthing.
When I checked the voltage the gauge tops at 16v and that ...

Thanks very much Pete.

Hi, any advice would be helpful please.
did some rewiring on my dart this week eliminating the duff ammeter and installing a new volt meter, when I started the car the volt meter was reading 12v, as the revs increased so did the voltage reading up to 16v !! the reading was the same at the battery ...

From barrel to bulkhead, at some time somebody has cut the insulation and then taped it over??
If its as simple as just measuring it then that's fine thanks, I thought the wire was rated on number of strands and amperage and all that stuff, not having much knowledge of auto wiring requirements ...

Can anybody tell me what the wire gauge is for the live (red) to the ignition barrel please, as mine could do with replacing. All the electrics are standard as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the tips fellas, I'll let you know how I fare.

Anybody know where i can get windshield trim clips please.

Button type, thanks fellas I would have broken it for sure without your help, sorted

May sound dumb but, I'm trying to get the knob off of the light switch in the dash (sorry 68 Dart) and I'm scared s--tless of breaking it. Can anybody tell me please how it's held on, I can't see any thread or any sort of clip, fell a bit of an arse asking such a simple question but I really don't ...
