After the best part of 12 years I have finally got my SIV restoration to the point where I plucked up courage to connect the battery.I've gone to negative earth with an alternator,removed the control box,fitted relays for improved headlights,fitted a new battery and a 10 bank spade fuse box.
Nothing spectacular happened phew!
I've found a few small glitches and the starter will not engage (just spins)I did check it before re-fitting and the brushes etc all seem good,so a bit more investigation is needed.
I'll sort out some photos of progress and post them soon.

Regards to all
John

! we wanna see them...
If you have the invertor type starter it is probably the bendix that is sticky or faulty, easy to strip , or the solonoid is faulty on the other type starter .
Cheers
