I have been on the road for about a month, ~100mi, with brakes seats
etc.. I have a few questions:
1) Courtesy lights- are there one or two courtesy lights in a stock
73?. I find one door-swiched bulb holder on the passenger side and a
similar holder on the drivers side which is dash-light switched. Is
this correct?. From the wiring diagram it looks like both should be
door-switched. Where does the drivers side bulb mount?... I assume the
passenger bulb mounts below the cubby.
2) British Leland Emblem- Assuming that stock 73's had emblems, what
is the correct location? (fender-door seam to emblem edge
distance/fender bottom to emblem edge distance etc.?)
3) Heater blower- Should the heater blower run all the time the
ignition is on in the low position, even when the switch is in the
forward position?
4) Window regulator adjustment- I have added a passenger side window
regulator and window but am having trouble adjusting it... is it
normal to have to elongate the 4 mounting holes around the crank to
allow glass to rotate CCW? (The glass touches the wind screen at the
top... gaps at the bottom, with the regulator in the up-most position)
7) Wipers- On a stock 73 do the blades park on the passenger side?...
mine are missing and the motor does not park. Can this be corrected
by adjustment or replacement of parts in motor drive assembly... or
is it best to look for a replacement?
6) Manuals- Is the Bently manual the most complete to answer this type
of questions? I tried to order from TRF but out of stock... I have
the factory manual for '73 -'76 which is very abbreviated. What about
the Haynes?... Sources for ordering at the best price?
what a fun car ;)... I think I am lucky, being a novice LBCer, this
car seems to run and handle really well...thanks to the mechanical
skills of the PO... the more I drive the better it seems... even the
'eau de castral' has diminished (or maybe I am getting used to it)
Thanks for letting me bother the list. The first contact re brake MC
and silicone fluid produced numerous responses all with good advice.
