Re: SER1 86" rear lights

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/09/21]

All the parts (488, 489 etc) were used and are still available in the UK.

For the bulkhead side lamps to flash in an early 80", I have used the army
type rubber backings as fitted to the screw on lenses. These are ready
shaped to bend downwards and with a bit of fiddling can be used ok,
otherwise there is not room in the bulkhead for the usual longer double
filament backs.

add onto the wiring harness a provision for hooking up a Lucas DB10 8-way
relay unit plus a flasher unit.  I will be using a manual switch such as
used for trafficators installed on the round mount welded on the windscreen
frame. I will be glad to post the details when I am done. It should be a
very clean installation, but the downside is that the DB10 unit costs 145
USD.
