The Led's look great, I did similar to my ToM but the ones Greg have look better made. I had real problems getting the #555's to work and had to adjust the contacts until they worked.

On my T2 (no led's yet) I actually used coloured bulbs on the white target inserts so that then the skill shot is on they colours alternate ie red, yellow, white, yellow, red etc. Looks ok but would be better with led's

I got my fuses and quickly blew one testing a theory. Have tested the coil but have a new one waiting just in case. Will try this weekend. Thanks for asking. Did also look at your pixs and mine seem similar however, the coil lugs are on the opposite ends. Is that due to a different brand of coil?

Also is it necessary to take off the wires to measure ohms, if so why for my own interest.

I am not too sure re the coil lugs at opposite ends...I remember reading it should be away from the coil stop end as the constant vibrations can cause damage / crack solder joints...but I stand to be corrected on this one...

Re the testing of the coil, not sure if it has been posted previously but I would recommend having a read of this site:

http://www.pinrepair.com/wpc/index2.htm#trans

There is a number of sections for each year / type of machine & brand specific as well.  It is truely a bible for pin repair and is understandable for a noob like myself!
