Been out the garage for a while this afternoon, I tell you what Its brass monkeys out there.. 3 pairs of socks, 4 tops, 2 pairs of trousers, and the worst bit is the feet, but they went numb after half an hour so couldn't complain.

Finally found those nuts to get the switch panel off, then of course I had to undo the heater & choke cable.. the drilled bolt for the choke snapped, and couldn't uncreative the clip that held heater cable in place, so grinded the bolt off

and bent the clip slightly to free the chocke cable, I then made a new switch panel.. pics to follow

You'll also need to undo the chocke cable and heater cable at the engine end and pull through

That probably will have doubled the value of it for him ! ;D
