Wanted a red but ended up with a blue, which looks pretty nice. Red was just to dim. All the warning lights and other also got changed to the appropriate color led.
The bright white switches to the lower left of the steering wheel just didn't light up at all. Most were actually missing the bulb holder. Soldered led right to the posts.
The rear defroster and hazard were burnt out. They got replaced with leds as well.

My compass light needs replacement.
Can't find it anywhere!!
How can I replace it with led?
Just solder it in or fit it in the bulbs socket????

Your compass light should be a regular T10 bulb. Led or incandescent. The leds will fit into the socket,
I put in the blue leds but have now found out the leds are to directional and don't actually light up my proximity display.
You could just solder onto the contact pads if your missing the socket. Just check polarity first if using an led.

Front ball joints, brake rotors and pads and new shoes (tires) all the way round.

Runs like a treat now.
Changed from Yokohama's to the OK Tire Black Lions. Quite a softer ride and handle the pavement just as well at 2/3rds the price.

I have a friend that has a right hand drive 4 door I forget the name...
He told me he can get any parts I need from Russia because his dad goes back and forth.
I will give it a go and get the complete braking package just as standby to see the difference in value...
What other "essentials" should I get??

replaced my gas tank last weekend. it was a simpler job than what I had originally thought.
the sensor plug disintegrated when I unplugged it. mustang connections in Armstrong had everything I needed.

You have to resize your images so they fit within the parameters of 800 by 900 px. This was done because on occasion someone would post a picture of their Delica and after a few minutes of loading you could see the Delica ~ one lug nut at a time. There were complaints about this so we fixed it. The existing parameters are a fairly good size:

I'd check out E&H Hitch in Burnaby. They know their onions.

VHF is the black one
The cb is the yellow one
I just didn't attach the handset for the pic
They are in the center console
I might replace the console with a desktop bc box and put all the electronics into it AND have the PC running!!!

Good point a fat 50 (pa108 m27) or 40mm (PA120) would be nice but with a desktop I could put each into its own slot
