    I bought new indicators for my 1972 A65 Thunderbolt earlier this year, and soon after fitting them, I went around and loctited all the nuts onto the stems. They were fairly solid when originally fitted, but it didn't take long to vibrate loose within a short time.

      Thanks for the comment and interest. Yes indeed a common problem that affects all the revision of these.

    I am not sure what kind of soldering iron you are using however the Dremel Butane soldering torch is a major upgrade over electric soldering irons. They get hot really fast, they are lighter and they are cordless. The model number I use is 2000-01 Versa tip butane soldering torch, uses butane for cigarette lighters, well worth the cost.

      Thanks Walt for the interest, comment and specs. I agree I need to upgrade my old iron at some point.

      Very kind Dave but not quite; however, pleased with how it's turning out and all the issues we've found and hopefully resolved.

    Hi, I would advice you to protect the wires that goes through the tabs inside the rear mudguard a little better to avoid them been cut due to vibration causing a shortcut. But you probably already did that after this video was shot. I’ve been following you for years and enjoy watching your channel learning a bit in the process. Great to have you back and cracking on, hope you’re feeling alright again

      Hi JC thanks for the kind comment. Yes I’m not feeling too bad thank you. I’ve got some grommets on order for the rear mudguard to protect wiring going in and out and agree it would be prudent to build up insulation to protect the wires behind the tabs - no I haven’t done it yet so thanks for the tip - appreciated.

    Great work as usual. Just been looking at my T140ES and although its had literally thousands spent on it over the last 10 years its a complete mess. 😢😂

      Well Richard does it matter if you ride and enjoy the bike? As baz has said perhaps it's just patina!

    I'm more than sure you are correct Angus, there should be rubber gromets in the rear mudguard for the indicator wires on both sides.

      Thanks Alexander - I’ve ordered some.

      @@BSAPowerSet Those grommets where the indicator wires come out are a real pain. The holes are so tiny, it is virtually impossible to get the wire through with the bullet attached. When I repainted my mudguards, I drilled the holes out slightly larger before paint, so I could fit a larger grommet.
      Another point, you will probably have realised this, but those three wires you were going to connect your extensions to (brown/white, blue/yellow, brown/green) were not for the ignition switch, they were for the light switch. The ignition switch wires are brown/blue (from battery), white (key on supply) and white/brown (lights supply).

      @@rickconstant6106 Cheers Rick I’ve got a selection of grommets of varying sizes coming so we’ll give it a go. I think I’ve connected extentions to the correct wires for the ignition switch as I checked beforehand but you’ve got me thinking - I’ll be checking when I return home later today.

    I used to do my bullets that way but now prefer to place the bullet into a hole drilled in a piece of wood, heat the bullet with the soldering iron, feed in some solder then push in the wire.
    Also real lead/tin solder none of that lead free rubbish!

      Sounds like a good technique - thanks for sharing. Entirely agree regarding the solder - needs to be fluxed too in my experience.
