re: Wiring.

It's quite simplte to strip all of the crap out of the loom and be left with only a few wires.

The battery is/was only used in the lighting circuit, so it'll run without it.

If you've got it running then the jobs done. I have a wiring diagram of just the bits you really need, but it sounds like you've already got there.

re: fur.

Keep the fur (might need a sponge down though )
