I've generally not done a huge amount to these pumps but I took the windings out of mine and they were black and there was burn mark in one place, the windings in another pump I stripped up were red which I understand is how they should be.

There is also a correct way to setup the points which is to wind the di\phram in until the points don't throw over, then move back to the nearest hole and then move back four holes and test with it all bolted up.  I did this and found that I needed to wind it out two further holes.  I then set the clearances on the points (there are some good videos on Youtube).

With all this done it seems to be working well.

From reading through the various articles and watching videos it seems that there is a lot more to the SU pump that you realise at first glance and part of the reason why they don't have a great reputation is people repairing them who don't know what they are doing.  The issue with my winding looking burned for example isn't something that I would have spotted without reading about this and having another to compare it to as it doesn't look that bad.

With fresh glue and a bit more time I fitted the carpet set, shown here before vacuuming to get all the bits of underlay off them from twhen I used them as patterns for the underlay.

Next I vacuumed then (no pictures) and then thought that maybe I would tidy up the seat base frames before refitting the front seats.

I had a can of silver spray Hammerite so cleaned the frame up and gave it a coat.....

Yes I did say silver, seems I have been sent a can labelled as silver but with black paint in it.
