Reverse light switch and track rod end

PostPost by: jmp » Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:58 pm

I've now got a working reverse light switch and lights to go with it. Lights off when not in reverse gear and on when reverse selected,brilliant. Previously they were constantly on.

Does anyone know what vehicle the track rod ends were fitted too originally. I know there are a number of lotus suppliers but I am hoping to pick one up from a local factors and fit it tomorrow rather than wait to have one posted. With this fitted I am ready to book in for an MOT early next week. I suspect there may be a few bushes and possibly brakes to adjust but all electrics now working as they should. Chassis looks very sound with no problems there.

Off to have a drink now as feeling quite smug about todays efforts.

ith no problems.
A little concerned about the horn toggle switch though as you can leave it constantly blowing. I'll have to see what other switches I have in stock to replace it with. It would be nice to get it back in the steering wheel on a future date along with putting some of the shoddy electrical work that has been cobbled up on it in the past back to original as well.

Going to have a drink now as I feel quite smug about fixing the switch.

Jmp, if you do restore the electrics to original, then they will be shoddy! :lol:
