I can't say for sure, but both of my Roadsters came with uncoated brake drums and the calipers were painted with what I would call Machine gray, the color of most industrial motors and pumps. In gen

That large white wire with a red stripe is the main power wire on the alternator side of the ammeter. The ammeter is between the battery and that wire. All the electric loads, as well as the chargin

I am not familiar with the '70's, but I may be able to help you out. I checked the wiring diagram on 311s and think it is not correct in the area of the alternator. It appears the ammeter is shown t

Good to hear that your gauges are now working. As for the low beam problem it is usually the contacts on the high/low beam switch. I think you will need to remove the steering wheel to get to it. Be

I'm familiar with the 67.5's, so I don't know specifically about the 68 switch. From the wiring diagram it looks like your headlight switch will have 5 terminals on it. Since you say that the switch
