Yeah, that's the first thing I think you ought to be worrying about too. :lol:
We are busy converting from Autocad 2d to Inventor 3d for our designs etc. at work. Good time to model a tank and frame and test them with a few colors?

I predict that you will be busy for some time, toiling away at 'Johan's Home for Broken Airheads'.

Here's some advice from Fifteen Bobsworth Longfellow (alias John Clarke)

Take the pieces from the package,
Lay them out as per the graph,
Gathering the bits you'll need,
Removing what you shouldn't have.
With the implement provided
Ease the bearings to the left,
Push the little angled mullion
Up into the socket 'F'.
This will free the moulded bracket
Holding back the nylon strand,
Draw the slippery hoop and coupling
Through the right-hand rubber-band.
Put the topside brown side outside,
Push the inside upside down,
Underneath the left-hand wingnut,
Press the folding backward crown.
Overlapping lifting side-flaps
Lower in to fit the screws,
Pack up tools, retire to distance,
Don protective hat, light fuse.

Good luck with your project.
Goeie more Oom Charlie, dankie vir die mooi woorde van wysheid.

My plesier, Oom Johan. Dit is goed om te sien dat jy uit die moeilikheid hou.

Do you know what year it is?

Yes, the bike (I'm pretty sure most of us here know what year this is, at least on a good day).

I was wondering if my '74 Slash 6 Wiring Map would be of use to you. There were some changes to the electrics during the Slash 6 years. Maybe I'll get around to doing the maps for other models one day. I think the instrument pod wiring is the same from 74 to 76, so here is the wiring map for that - though it may be some time before you get to this bit of the project.

I am also an Autocad (ab)User. I'll send you the Autocad files if you wish - just send me an email, or a PM with your email address so I can attach by return message.
