There is info on how to adjust the sender and gauge here: https://www.mgexp.com/article/how-to-adjust-the-fuel-gauge-sender.140 I have a couple of extra senders I can practice on. This should be fun.

David Owen Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Question: Does anyone know where in any catalogue I can find the chrome (I think) plate that protects the carpet beside the high beam switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 The yellow LHD TR2 foot well has a neat looking home made stainless pad attached by the looks of it. The original rubber pad is OE Triumph part number 602221 Moss Europe do it. Maybe if you could ask someone at Moss USA they could tap that OE part number into their system and search for their equiv. TRF do not list it, again ring them with the part number and ask. Cheers Peter W https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/pad-carpet-protection-rubber-602221.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I got one with my carpet set from the TR shop, I did not fit it straight away, as I thought I would wait to see where the wear took place, & then cover the worn patch with it. Well, I'm still waiting for any sign of wear ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Owen Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 This the harness from the control head. Just checking that the dark green and red (might be brown) is the line that goes back to the flasher and the light green and red is for the LH signal lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Owen Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Am I correct in thinking that it doesn't matter whether the low or high beam are attached to a specific output? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Correct. As long as the input is on the correct terminal. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david ferry Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) It'll work either way round, but it really ought to be blue/white to main (high) beam and blue/red to dipped (low) beam. The blue is the power feed into the dip switch. Edited May 12, 2021 by david ferry Blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
