So the saga continues. I was demonstrating the backup camera to my family and the next day a neighbour stopped by for a look and when I tried to activate the camera with the reverse circuit in the shift linkage, the camera did not respond. As expected it was a "green" connection on a wire from the main harness. A quick cleaning and reconnect and the camera works.
I am learning to do more research, on-line, before I call for help. GOOGLE is my best friend, as it turns out. I had been unable to get the TECHNOSTALGIA LED
http://www.cool-leds.com/led-taillights-ford.htm 6501 and 6027 turn signals to flash. The local dealer sold me an LED specific electronic flasher complete with a verbal guarantee that this is the final solution. This not made in North America flasher was a dud and does not work with LED or tungsten bulbs. I went back on-line and on the GROTE site and found this.

More research and I finally found just what I need to make reliable flashing turn LED signals. LORDCO, a local automotive supplier have sets of 50W5OHm resistor sets that are for LED flash systems.

http://www.cool-leds.com/ Maybe a resistor should be part of the original design?
I am making progress. BTW. The Alpine radio works really well and the amplified sound is fantastic.
The lessons I/we have learned on this project will help to steer my son's L110 Shorty build. He does not want power windows, but, Vintage Air and New Port Electric wipers and Autometer Gauges along with an ALPINE stereo system. Power windows can be added at any time in the future. Since I have so many "L&R" doors I can make up a power window installation kit and put into drawer two in case he changes his mind. The best modular power window harness for an L110 is from a FOX BODY Mustang. This is so close to plug and play.
