Does anyone know which type of bulb fits the Handbrake/Brake Fluid Warning Lamp bulb holder on the dashboard of my 1968 S1.5 ???
Have tried the screw in and also the bayonet type indicator bulbs, none of which fit( Stay in the fitting)
The fitting is original.
Cheers

This is a strange type of fitting. Mine uses a screw in bulb but it’s not secured by the screw thread. The front bezel and indicator lense holds it all in place. Was the same on my previous car and is original.
Series 1 FHC purchased 40 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.

Exactly as Tim says....and a very strange fitting indeed. I reckon the designer was very drunk when he came up with it....not one of Mr Lucas's best ideas IMO.

Nor was feeding it with an un-fused supply but I suspect the rationale behind this and the spring loaded bulb holder design was to make operation as secure and reliable as possible given the safety critical nature of the warning lamp.
