Tonight we wired up the key and ignition. It took quite a while to figure out which wires came from where, and what each needed to connect to on the ignition switch. After researching it on the forums we found some seemingly helpful diagrams. Unfortunately, they were incorrect because when the key was switched to the on position, pressing the clutch pedal would engage the starter. After some tests Scott figured it out and we now have the correct; accessories, off, run and starter (engaged by the clutch) positions.
Next, using the headlight switch ordered from FFR, we wired up the parking lights and headlights. Again it took a little time finding the right diagrams, especially because FFR didn't even tell us which terminal is which on the headlight switch, but the switch functions correctly now.
Finally, we wired up with windshield wipers for power and the switch. With this, we were able to attach the wiper arms but then found one of the gears was stripping. After taking it out, Scott discovered the cable wasnt being held tight enough against the gear. So, we used the vice and bent the guide for a tighter fit. After putting it all back together the problem was solved and now the 2 speed wipers work great.
I also finally received the electronic speedometer so hopefully nothing else will hold us up at this point.
