Side lamps combined with flasher lamps.

These can be fitted in the same way as the above lamps apart from that they have two separate bulbs inside,
the larger bulb is 21w and should be orange for the flasher, the smaller bulb is 5w, clear and is for the side
lamp. It will have two live cables and one or two earth cables coming from the lamp, like before use a 12v
power source to find which wire operates which brightness/colour of bulb.

Alternator

With the body in place the alternator can now be fitted, the lower mount attaches through the front cover in
the same place as the timing pointer, the pointer has slotted holes so mark the position of this before
removing the bolts (you may need longer bolts for fitting this).
The alternator must be inserted into the drive belt before bolting to the bracket as the belts must be kept short
to keep the most distance possible between the alternator and the bonnet, with the belt and alternator in
position slide through the long 5/16 bolt from rear to front and with the alternator held rearmost check for
belt alignment, if needed fit a spacer between the alternator and bracket to bring it forward and aid
alignment, the rear position has a sliding spacer to take up any slack.
Before fully tightening the bottom bolt assemble and fit the top adjuster to the alternator and adjust the belt
to give a maximum of 5mm deflection on the longest run, all bolts can now be tightened, the wiring loom has
a plug ready fitted for the alternator, details below.

Rear lamps

The rear lamp brackets should already be fitted with the rear lamp wires coming out of the centre tubes.
Remove the rear lamp cover and the four rear retaining bolts to remove the lamp holders, take the conduit
and pass it through the lamp holder and use cable or wire ties to hold the tube from coming free.
If not already been done by Suffolk Sportscars, glue some insulating material (e.g. rubber, cloth tape) to
the inside top of the lamp case as there is very little room inside these lamps the wires are very close to
the outside case.
Mount the lamp on the lamp bracket, the screws will go through the bracket and lamp casing and into the
lamp mounting bracket. Tape the ends of the wires together to aid pushing them up the conduit and into the
rear lamp, secure the conduit with a suitable size grommet or rubber wrapped around the conduit.
The lamps can be mounted either way around but generally side / marker lamps are best on the outside.
As with front lamps use a 12v power source to find which filament/terminal operates side lamp (5watt) and
which is the brake lamp (21watt).
The terminals inside the lamp are traditional old style connectors, remove the brass insert, slide over the
cable and bare back approx 5mm of wire, bend this over the brass insert before refitting.
A wiring diagram to help with wiring below can be found in Appendix 2 figure 24.
