Couldn't resist "massaging" some stuff while it was off the car...

B&M are no longer producing a neutral balance flexplate for use with a 904, so I had a 727 one turned down to the correct diameter, hopefully this will do the trick.

My new ignition system has the ability to operate a shift light so I wanted to fit one. I’m not a big fan of “stuff” so I had a think about how I might incorporate it into the existing layout. On an A body rallye dash the central dial comes blanked off unless a vacuum gauge or tach was optioned so that seemed the best location.

I found a suitable black faced flat LED lamp on eBay and used a paint pen and lathe to replicate the pattern of the blanking plate. Cut out the centre of the blanking plate and glued the LED in from the back.

I wondered what you were doing with that.
Brilliant solution and can’t imagine you’ll miss it in the heat in battle!
Awesome.

Let’s hope it works out better that that did!
