I think you are right a left over UK East Coaster. I think the extra wire has something to do with the rectifier being 1/2 wave or full wave extra connection on the latter.

Perhaps as the bike was to be an East Coster (although in fact a 32DD) they used existing East Coaster harnesses. This caused a slight difference as the 325 has a six way socket not 5, hence the wiring of the plug in a slightly different order. Maybe someone knows why the wiring was done this way?
Anyway off to Stafford tomorrow to look for a horn for it - anyone got a wind tone Mixo horn lurking in their shedColin Sparrow

I think 6 volt ones may be a bit difficult, but do come up on eBay from time to time. I a found a 12volt one and modified it inside (weakened the spring) There is a second hand one on the net in France @ 75 francs which looks like the one used on EC https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifi...php?id=2019713

I now have a horn sitting on a members shelf waiting for me -
The mudguard and chain guard have both turned up, both in really good condition apart
from the bracket which was not very well spot welded and has become detached.
Was that normal practice to paint the items then spot weld together after?

Tank brackets
I had a reply from Stan in Canada who owns a 325 East Coaster, with a picture of the rear tank mounts.
His picture shows exactly the same mis alignment as my tank does. I believe a couple of members have
commented on this however I would like to know why the tank straps were not altered to fit correctly,
or were they replacement tanks?

Engine revamp
Paul (Cotton Villiers) has given the engine a rebore after I had removed the seized pistons. He fitted a new primary chain, clutch was okay and the gearbox once the grease had been removed was okay as well (mechanism needed sorting but little wear which again points too the low recorded mileage).
All ready to go back in the frame -
