Z320 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) We've been out with our TR4A for a longer drive to the Lago Maggiore (Italy) with another couple and their TR6. On the tour this &@?#%!! plastic brake light switch failed on the TR6, but it was possible to open it, clean the contacts, so it works again.This is not possible with the BWM switch....

Z320 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yesterday I looked for my old plastic switch, opened it, cleaned the contacts (very bad condition) and bended them slightly. Now it works lovely again and is a spare part in my TRs boot for YOU. Ciao Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveR Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I did the same last month as Ciao Marco on my Vitesse. It only had a small amount of corrosion on the contacts. Cleaned, re-set and greased the contacts, all now work OK. If the plastic case and contacts are OK it's worth repairing. The same switch was used on most of the Triumph models of the age. Good old parts bin. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
