OK, i want to:

1. Paint the brake, clutch and accelerator arms and pedals as mine look old. Easy to do? Any gotchas to look out for? Take them off, paint and replace?

2. Replace the Hazard switch with a new one. Mine is missing the plastic part the light shines through. I assume open the dashboard??

3. Put in a new antenna, mine broke. Will settle for a manual pole (telescoping I guess) since i do not think hooking up any more electrical on that wacky britsh electrical system is a good idea. Is it difficult to get the antenna hooked to the radio? Do I have to remove engine parts?

4. Need to replace some bulbs in the dash. Is the dash tough to remove? tough to replace? It also cracked so I was going to order a dash cover to glue on from Moss. Anyone ever try one of these yet?

5. The windshield wipers will not stop wiping unless you force the little arm a certain way. I want to replace that and the other arm-switch that works the horn and blinkers. Easy, tough? I think I have to open the steering column for that and they should be an easy swap I iamgine?? If I order new parts wouldnt the wires just clip on and off?

Much more to do but thats what I need to start with now.

thanks gents!! long live MIDGETS!
