Brake Proportioning valve - Where is it, my donor has drums.
Headlight/Diplight/sidelight relay - which one is it??
Is the fasher unit the little box under the column shroud with 4 wires out of it?
if so, I Cannot figure out how the indicator switchgear connects up to the flasher unit??

Any ideas greatly appriciated?

The brake bias unit is a round cylider mounted to the nearside inner wing. One pipe in, one pipe out jobby. ( Two big phillips srews holding it on )

If memory serves me right all of the relays are in the fuse box unit. I belive the flasher relay is the red one.

Mind you quite a while since i stripped my donor.

Headlight/Diplight/sidelight relay is in the fuse box and the flasher relay is by the steering coloum, however i'm sure mine only has three wires.

Best thing to have for the wiring is the Haynes manual. Its near the back of it and is very helpful once you have worked out how the key works ect.

yep! My flasher has 3 wires also, pulled the loom out this afternoon and kept all the wires from the switchgear plugs and the flasher unit to the fusebox intact.
I will try and get my head around those wiring diagrams like you say sieries Landy and see what I can figure out!

In the end I used a hacksaw to remove the loom, but kept the wires from the switchgear to the fusebox intact!
