You may find it hard to keep those figures once you get used to the addictive acceleration, for such a big best, it can sure move.

Here you go - come to the Bristol Meet and buy me a beer (if it works)!

Sorted the mirrors Sanj - yellow/white wire to the n/s m/switch had broken at the point of entry to the switch - machined out the switch potting with a Dremmel mill cutter to expose the connection pins, soldered new tails, re-potted with epoxy and connected with shrouded red-gauge Lucars
Thanks for the guide and photos - would have been lost without it!
(Incidently, the m/switch is a Burgess V4NC series - here's the maker's website :-

Noted! - still getting used to the vehicle and have yet to push my boundaries as my confidence builds (used to own a Trooper that was certainly 'interesting' when manoevering at motorway speeds!)

Brilliant! Do me a favour and post the link on the back of my How To post (helps keep all the info in one place).
Well done!

Done - I've improved the web-link (in error, my original posting gave the URL for the main German distributor - not the maker)
