Yesterday I thought we had conquered all the issues regarding our all in one headlamps ...... not so ! The hazards flash at a normal rate but the indicators are at least twice speed. I now know that a new relay suitable for LED is required or ballast resistors. I have only been able to find one five pin LED relay and it is from a company in the USA, I have sent for it so fingers crossed it will cure the problem, if not then resistors it is ! (EL98 - EP27). Much of this is of course on a wing and a prayer so we will see. Having spent most of the morning reading on the internet about relays and LED's we pushed on to fit the windscreen. Having looked at other blogs we unpacked the doors to use those to help us dictate a correct position. I was surprised to find out we had two nearside doors in the box !, on the off chance I rang my friend who is also building a Westfield but is some way behind us, to ask him to open his box of wet weather gear, thankfully he had two offside doors ! ( I dreaded waiting a Westfield 2-3 weeks for a replacement) a quick detour to his house and a swap and we both had the correct doors. We followed others blogs about the windscreen and decided to seat it on a bead of tiger seal which we could tidy up when all was attached. We masked the black windscreen surround and applied tiger seal much like sealing a bath and managed to get the interior neat which we were worried about, the windscreen is now sitting on plenty of sealant so hopefully when the front trim is sealed as well all should be watertight. Having got the windscreen done we packed up for the day as the temptation to fiddle with sealant thinking you can get it a little more perfect is always there !!! We seem to have reached a stage where everything takes longer than anticipated, the light at the end is growing brighter though ! 4 hours work today and a lot of reading 236 hours total.
