Arch:
    I'm doing the reproduction with the wires in color and putting the
numeric codes and the legend that the factory diagram has so that whether
you print it in color or not, you'll be able to trace the wiring.  I'm
working from the diagrams in my ZA vintage workshop manual.  Is there anyone
who has a late shop manual with a ZB Varitone wiring diagram who can scan it
and send me the scanned image?  I want to be able to show the different
options for clock illumination and trafficators versus flashing lights on a
single wiring diagram.

Like most of the group my wires are mostly dirty oil color.  But, I would
like for mine to be in color.  Might make following the wires path easier to
follow.  Unfortunately it is too cold to do anything with my car until
things thaw out a bit, Arch

Think I'll just wait for the colorized version myself. Since most of the old
wiring, now 50 + years old seems to be color free, not  sure if that will
help us, but sometimes a piece of the original colouring is visible.

I've found that a 6 volt drycell battery is a big help in chasing wires of
the apparent same colour, IF one has a good volt meter OR a simple little
test light circuit. I made my light way back when my wife was driving a 1984
XJ-6 Jaguar sedan and occasionally the electrics went on strike.

Wombat, 

This too is a good idea.  Let's see how many are interested, and in what...

Holiday Cheers!

Allen;

O.K. I got us a decent blown up copy..very readable with the color code
guide on the bottom. Maybe next week early I'll go into the big city where
there is an Office Depot and get several sheets laminated. How many do we
need??? 

Oh Yes..how badly are they needed?? That will help me determine a $$$$ value
of each one, Really 

need =High $$$$$ value right??

Actually I don't remember what the Depot gets for 11 X 17 sheet laminating
but it's pretty cheap.

In a recent phone conversation with one of our own, two concerns arose which
I promised to address about a week ago.  I apologize for the delay, but my
past week has been memorable for its interruptions.   

Two questions:

1.)  Is there somebody in our noble band who either could or would be
interested in making up enlarged wiring diagrams for the Magnette. I know
there are at least four of them, and maybe some choices would have to be
made, but did somebody volunteer that they could provide an 11 X 17 wiring
diagram copy either laminated or suitable for lamination? If you are not
such a person but have access to equipment that could produce same, for a
PRICE of course, I can guaranty you sales of two of these from the get-go.
I know we discussed this at some time but cannot recall how we left it.

2.) We also focused on a windscreen thread a year or two ago, and somebody
found that Pilkington (?name?) had a US distribution center (somewhere in
Ohio?) from which we might be able to expect a supply of new windscreens.
Is there a follow-up story here? There are those of us who either need one
or would buy one as a spare should they become available.  Once again, any
new information about this would certainly be welcome.  I know the nightmare
Steve Hanegan went through to land a shipment of windscreens and rear
Varitone glasses here in the US of A.  I suspect a good many of those of us
of the Varitone persuasion would be cheered to find a stash of these bits
available in North America, but I wouldn't wish this task on Steve again for
anything.  So... can anybody report anything new on this concern?

Many thanks to anybody who can contribute to this conversation! 

Holiday Cheers,

Allen
