Eventually I found the indicator switch in a box marked 'Lucas SSU700' - which had no headlamp in it, but a complete set of Lucas indicators - which allowed me to finish the wiring in the headlamp, and put the wiring tools and materials away. All I have left is the speedo lamp, and for that I need the speedo back - oh, and the indicators work, save for the fact that they are currently fitted with 12 V bulbs. I've ordered some new bulbs.
The choke lever that came with the kit is not an original Amal lever - it looks like a Doherty to me, and it's pretty corroded:
The 1958 Amal catalogue shows levers with ball ends - fortunately I had one in a box of levers:
That's it for the bits and pieces jobs. Now I have this package from Draganfly - with these bits I can do the dynamo chain and close up the timing case, and I can finish and fit the rocker box.
Unfortunately those finned clamp screws are the wrong size - my fault, not Draganfly's, so if I can find some 0.445" hexagon bar in stainless I will make some.
