chemical paint stripping is the best to take it back to bare metal. You can use household paint stripper, it does the same as automotive stuff. apply with a paintbrush nice and thick and let it sit till it starts to bubble. Then scrape off what you can with a scraper. Just make sure to wear eye protection and don't get it on your skin or you will know you are alive..
once stripped then you can sand off whats left..
Well it is about time I made an update to this. Finally got some motivation to do some work to it last weekend with the assistance of Teddy. (Find it hard sometimes between doing jobs for everyone else).
We managed to rip most of the stuff off the old 4K, pulled the old intake manifold and extractors off and did a dummy fit up of the upright gear i have.
Had to drill out some holes in the manifolds earlier in the week at work. Still a bit of work to go in to it but at least I have made a start to it.
why not just use a dual headlight relay?

The alternator charge light is fed ignition on one side and goes down to the alternator looking for a ground on the L terminal of the 3 pin plug. once the alternator starts charging it produces a voltage that puts the light out because you have voltage either side of the globe.
