g'day from south australia, if you retention the spring in your indicator switch unit , remove left cover u will see the spring in the middle of the stalk switch play around with that,mine was the same ,took some fiddling but works

i am planning to modify EB falcon blinker/wiper switch setup for my van.. if possible
i have the covers for the indicator etc and the original switch setup, but will keep it for now incase they wont pass My mods?
i also have a few cortina ghia clusters which fit the stock transit cowel, but the wiring wasnt working with it.. undecided as yet which way i will go.
i need to fix the rust first and i havent been in the mood to date. its seems "one day" hasn't come about as yet.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE! further progress is planned.. but my plans are subject to change without notice or warning.

well, just when you thought there'd be no further progress.... you'd be correct:)

although, this weather now is perfect for working in the garage, as its too cold/wet for my other hobbies. and more ideal for welding in less than 20deg C than in summers 35-40c temps

last week i emptied all the stuff out the back of the van(its been a garden shed on wheels for well over a year now)

i have been itching to see if my intended lpg tank and folding seat would work in the position i had planned. fits with just enough room. the folding seat may not end up in there, but i wanted to keep the options open though.
(that crap on the internal panels is tile adhesive that the previous owner did to stop the noise vibration which seems to help. i'd assume its not as good as dynamat etc though.)

i need to make room in my real garden shed now to store all the transit stuff in when i remove the windscreen and seats etc to weld rust. which is my next job to do.
this car isn't my only project, i have several.. but this is the only one i want to do properly as it cant be replaced as easily as a hilux or a falcon(other car projects.)

thought i read you had a transit on xfalcon.com
have you got a thread here? i'll look soon

the way i am doing the wiring on mine i'll be able to use the XF ghia(starwars) cluster also. i've been using one in my ute for a while now and i like it(never liked them in the past.)
