YOW500 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 A friend has asked me to make a right hand drive dip switch mounting bracket for a L H D car which he has imported. Please see the couple of pictures below. As far as I am aware there are two types, early No2, and late No1. These are both a copy of the original, laser cut, and folded steel plate. Please contact me if you need one, I will make a small number of each. The cost will be £18 each. Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Very good, 7 years ago I would have wanted one, but I adapted a LHD one in the end. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Three months too late for me, had to make one. Would have much rather spent the £18 and saved a day of my time. Ralph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Owen Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I don't suppose they're available for the North American Market? LHD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOW500 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi David. It's a funny old World. I've been asked by a small number of people in the UK to make RHD one's because they have imported cars from the USA, and you want a LHD type. I'm sure someone reading this has one in the UK that they have removed, and with luck, will send it to you, I hope!!!! Kind regards Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I used to have one of those! Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Russ Well done for filling yet another gap in the side-screen TR unavailable parts list. These are pretty much unavailable now, as with most RHD specific parts. Nice to see that you have covered both the early and late type. I would like a couple of each please. Send me a PM to arrange.

markaluge Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I haven't got that far, and hadn't realised that they were handed. I would require a Type 2 please. Many thanks, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know I did have one because I converted my car from LHD to RHD but I’ve obviously hidden it well. Sorry about that. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOW500 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 David. If you check out Macey's Garage in the USA they have the LHD dip switch bracket at $42. Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to attempt to get everything as correct as possible so I will keep looking. Or get one of yours and reverse the folds and weld it if it breaks.

Ralph Whitaker Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I threw the LHD one away. It was very rusty and beyond saving, but it was a simple 90 degree bracket with diagonal reinforcing sides bolted to the bulkhead side. Would be easy to make. Ralph.
