Mam has made my new curtains:-
Some of the curtains are pictured here, you can see the second one up from the bottom that mam has put a join in to try & save me buying more material, what she hasn't noticed though is that the material is a different colour when looking from one direction to when looking in the other direction. I won't be using this piece I'll buy some more material:-
Image

You can see in the next picture the rear lining & you may also notice that there are 3 different length of curtains, the back pair are the shortest & the middle rear are longer than the quarter rear. I assume this is because of the Westy jalousie windows. This can be seen in the bottom row as I've put them side by side:-

Last night I started putting in my new curtains, some are longer than others I found out after fitting them that the passenger side are supposed to be longer than the driver:-

I started to sort my dash switches & wiring, I realized that the USA Hazzard warning switches have the resistor as you can see, the UK ones don't:-
