White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

I mentioned that the headlamp had been drilled for a side light? I had to remove it again to fit the clocks so took opportunity to give it a clean.

Here is the folded wiring inside the bowl, hole in the middle left for the lamp, and the sidelight "modification".

Whilst out I decided to clean the reflector and glass, so removed the H4 lamp (which is only a 35W, not 55W?) and got my finger inside with the Rayban cloth. The spring clip was removed after I caught my hand in it a couple of times.

Sadly (as my wife will confirm) I only have short fingers, so I wrapped & taped the cloth around a 1/4 drive extension to get to the outside edges of the reflector and the glass. It worked.
I made a matching bracket for the right side panel out of some flat 16g (1.5mm) plate I had kicking around. It's a bit thicker than the radiator angle but the same as the original White House bracket - so more than likely I will make a replacement for the left one some time later.

Mock up - mark - hacksaw - file - drill - deburr - fold - test fit - paint. 30 minutes.
