One way to improve its looks at no cost , fold up some tinfoil and give it a vigorous rub you might be surprised .

Very dim rear indicators and brake lights
Found this problem today ,rear indicators very weak and both flash weakly ,the brake lights are also weak .
if it was only flashers I would be thinking of getting a new flasher unit . It could be a bad earth , apart from the earth points at the rear lights where else should I check .

Re: Which speedo
Thanks for all the useful comments , I have ordered a speedo from ESM and will let you know if I have made a good choice once it is fitted . I am hoping my present speedo is just old and as suggested its magnets are weak . I don't mind a small override and my Traveller indicates about 3MPH high .My ...

Re: 1960 saloon fuel sender
Thanks for your help , it may be more accurate than I think as I was working on a 5 gallon tank ,and when indicating just under half full took 18 litres .
I will carry a spare 5 litres once I am getting low and then I will know exactly how accurate it is .

1960 saloon fuel sender
Hi could someone help by explaining how to calibrate the petrol tank fuel sender on a 1960 saloon with the silver faced speedo .
At the moment it shows just under half full when there is one gallon left in the tank .
I am assuming that a 1960 car has a 5 gallon tank .
