Original NOS Hella relay flasher located, which will replace the modern unit that was retro installed when moving to 12v:

 First new post for a long while, car has sat waiting some attention to finish the restoration work, but now back on point :)

As a first new post some images of the now restored wiper mechanism, struggling to find a 12v armature for the BOSCH unit, if anybody reads this and nows where to source one would welcome the guidance!

Switzerland FIRST

Stayed here on a ride out on the Triumph, place looks much the same... nice 60's beetle by the looks of it

Volkswagen factory

Small big window...

MSD Install

After some effort carpet reinstalled, with through wiring and box in position ready to be torqued down. 

Spent some time re-routing the wiring in the engine bay as well to make it as clean as possible and easy to get at!

(please ignore the iPhone distortions...)

Ignition upgrade to MSD

After much searching managed to locate a new old stock MSD 40th. I rather liked the original logo/box design. Purchased on eBay direct from MSD through the global shipping programme which avoids any hidden charges and makes US purchases as easy as UK save for a few extra days delivery. 

I also purchased from Jegs a MSD distributor for less than £200 new and delivered, just wasn't prepared to pay the near £400 that some UK retailers charge. 

I also obtained an RPM control although the more modern design doesn't look quite in keeping with the 40th...

All mounted on an alloy plate sourced on eBay and some stainless steel threaded posts and usual anti vibration mounts. 

Will be position behind the rear seat with all wires hidden exiting under the plate and through and behind the carpet.
