#1 Help with mechanical brake light conversion

Post by DWW » Tue Sep 12, 2023 3:57 pm

I need some help in locating the connections to the rear loom in the car interior in order to wire the new switch. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I think the instructions guide you to somewhere behind/under the glove box, once the left under-dash cover is removed just want to confirm that for starters. As far as I can see the wires from the hydraulic switch join the loom running along under the left side top frame member. From there I assume they enter through the bulkhead to join another loom to the rear of the car, is that correct? If anyone who done that conversion can give me some pointer I will be eternally grateful.

Read Angus's (#1) in above link, its spot on. Wires were all on drivers side as described.

Thanks David, exactly what I needed, funny that my search which I did before posting did not bring up Angus's thread. Now that I've got everything I can proceed with the project.
