I was unaware that the heated screens were so expensive, was considering one for mine!

I'll ring a pal of mine that we use for screens in the morning, not sure if he goes north of the river but at least he likes 'Pictures of the Queen'. :lol:

Even if I can find a secondhand plain screen, I can make North Weald, but the welding cant start until I have one and then I have to refit dash in time :roll:

AlanN wrote:Spent all yesterday evening and all today in the van rewiring & tidying up the mess behind the dash, ripped out a good stack of old wire from previous owners, I'm not far off finishing, another day should sort it all. On the plus side, I think I've now found the fault with the fuel pump being immobilised by the alarm, the pump has been making a fair bit of noise over the last 6 months, so I checked the amps and it went off my meter at 12A :shock: meter leads started heat up and I noticed the alarm loop circuit had started to melt, but thats all been cut out now ready for the new pump. So next weekend, its just: finish the wiring, replace heater matrix and fuel pump :roll: Thanks to Muttley for the nearly new pump and transitjono for getting it down to me.

Picked up some more zinc plating I had done last week, not had a chance to fit any of it yet, but really pleased with it all, even thou there are few etching marks from the acid dip
