Re: 30 light (Now home vs export models)

[Charles Hill]

One other difference I'm aware of between home and export models was the headlight wiring. The right headlight in home models had a single filament bulb. Since very few, if any, cars still have their original wiring harness, not much help. I've heard that the oil can bracket and oil can was only fitted to home model cars. I don't know if its true or not. Many owners have fitted the "missing" bracket and oil can to their cars so again not much help. Regards, Charles Hill Chip Old wrote:
