The left button on the little dash is for the parking lights. Since you don't have those (I suppose) you can replace it by the windscreenspraypump. With some little work it will fit properly. I did it on mine too:

I also fitted a new speedo with an old inner plate with the white bars instead of the gearshiftscheme

Guess I've seen the light - again...

Thanks for the great tip about switching the inner plate of the speedo - I have a 6V as well. This is the speedo and housing that I have bought. Unfortunately it has the newer buttons - maybe I will weld up those holes and use nicer older switches. I thought about putting the windshield pump on the right side - where your key is approximately.

I first lowered the chairs by removing the "slide rails" on the floor - that did approximately 3 cm. But it still felt that my eyes were level with the upper edge of the wind screen - today I "sectioned" the chairs another 2 cm and that seems about right.

Just bought this on the Swedish Leboncoin (Blocket) - the first item of the planned build of a ...... (Take a guess, hint - not a 2CV)

It's from a Fordson tractor.

That is actually not a Ford T. Wink
It's an Overland, phaeton, cut in half !

Thanks for the info - T23 or any other similar firewall, grill, body etc will depend on what I find along the way. I did notice the cut though.

Just one more picture before I drift too far off the subject - I like this one a lot:

Just had to deal with those ugly moder wipers. Sprayed the wipers metallic silver and found "old style" stainless steel blades for boats that fitted nicely and didn't cost more than 6 Euros.
