    Check to see if it is getting power.  Sometimes due to the bundle of wires at the positive terminal there can be poor connections.  I would take the positive terminal cables all off, clean and reinstall and see if the cluster comes on now that you have a good battery.

    I've never worked on one......but I've heard of it......sounds like it may be a CPS problem.  The CPS is the power supply. 
    Link to another site that may offer some hints...

    That said.....if the fuses are ok......it may have blown a fusible link.

    The Riley RMA was produced through 1952, but not sure what this custom example still has in common with the original Riley; now mid-engined and plentiful customizations.

    Classic Roadsters Duke Jaguar SS-100 Replica, Epilogue.
    I don't know if anyone sees or is following this part of the forum any more, but I thought I would post a final report of my Jaguar ownership experience after reviewing my original thread. On May 22, 2019, I helped load my Jaguar onto a transport trailer to be shipped to its new owner in Phoenix. After six years of ownership that featured lots of fun driving, a few breakdowns, quite a bit of maintenance education and work, we decided we had satisfied our Brit roadster yen and wanted the garage space back. A Craigslist ad brought me a willing buyer with cash. As an investment, the Jaguar was a loser, but considering the money we put into it overall, probably equivalent to the depreciation on any vehicle.
    I documented most of the work that was done to make the Jag a reliable and attractive car in my first thread. At the end, it was in fact very reliable. The last recurring problems turned out to be fuel system issues that were working together to be hard to diagnose--carburetor and fuel pump. The rebuilt carb I installed was not internally calibrated quite right, including wrong jets, so a professional rebuild of the rebuilt solved one part of the equation. But it was still stalling. That turned out to be due to bad fuel pumps. The Duke was built with a non-stock electric fuel pump mounted just below the tank. The original and first replacement pumps were overheating and cutting out. My mechanic finally installed a racing-duty pump which totally solved the stalling problem.
    Like folks say about boats, it was a happy day when we bought the Jaguar, and a happy day when we sold it. No regrets. Loved the experience and even learning from the problems. And over 4,000 miles of joyriding.
    And so we move on. I hope folks who own, or think about owning or have interest in replica cars, and the Duke model particularly, find something of interest or encouragement in what I have shared. And to whoever owns our Jaguar now, and wherever they may be, happy driving!

    @BodybyFisher No offense taken. I always try to point this out to "less expirienced" DIY´s to avoid misstakes.
    As You know I have a 4,5 and I think there are big differences to the ht4100 but I have never owned one.

    Take a 3/4 inch hose and use it as a listening device.  Listen to the alternator.
    Is the battery retaining its charge?

    @Göran W
    Ok so I called the following with no luck
    Www.kanter.com
    Www.ecklers.com
    Www.NPDLINK.com
    Then I called these folks in florida, Convertible Tops Specialist, Inc, they had an ad in Hemmings Motor News, their webpage is http://www.topsdown.com and spoke to Heather.  She gets lots of calls for this part and said it does not exist.  The part is called a window sweep.  Go to their web page and on the left under browse click, weatherstrip-convertible, then click, window sweeps/dew wipes and window channels.  In there are many universal window sweeps sold by the foot, you will need to pull yours out and do some measuring and try to match something up.  
    I think that is the best that can be done.  Heather said you can email her, call etc.  And she said they do ship internationally.
    I hope this helps you

    Its not really silence, I am like a bird dog.  I called Fairchild no help, I called JC Whitney (usually good for oddball stuff), no help, scoured the internet and came up with replacement part numbers and I continue researching that. I even contacted LMC truck who I recently purchased from for an 89 Chevy C1500 to see if they had any ideas on sources.

    Do you know if these weatherstrips are snapped in place or affixed with adhesive?

    Got the spares back from Pep Boys. The new wheels/tires are very snug in the spare slots, so I'm not putting the covers back on.

    I like the look anyway, but we'll see if I get over-ruled too.


    Off to drive it and enjoy the sunny weather...
