I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but I was wondering if anyone had a "map" of what the switches and gauges are on a series 2. I'm going to go for this look:

but I can only figure out what the gauges are. I did figure out the ignition switch also...

Thanks,
Mark

The Tony Weale book that Skinny G referred to is a MUST have book for any builder. If you only buy one book that's it. I'm sure this crew could also add another 20 or so books that would be nice to have!!!!

It's the bible on Seven builds Dave W

Keep Checking E-bay, there was a copy posted only a few weeks ago. I did not follow the final price, but I got my copy for under $35. Also check the UK E-bay; there is one for 25 pounds today, and the pound has lost 25% to the dollar in the last few months. Just make sure you get the actually shipping cost to USA.

I am 99% sure that is who I bought from. Or maybe it was Rocky Mountain Caterham. I don't remember.

The original book is in colour, the copy you get from them is all black and white.

If you want to truly know how these ~should~ be put together, it is a MUST HAVE. FAR more inspirational than Uncle Ron's book.
