Spitfire work
The work on the Spitfire continues.
The original owner had a problem with the turn signal switch while he owned it. Rather than simply buying a new switch, he had a “friend” who supposedly knew something about electrical systems “repair” it. The result was a two-way toggle switch hacked into a badly drilled hole in the wood dashboard facia. It wasn’t installed very well and would fall out on a regular basis. I just used the standard arm signals when signalling turns until I could fix it.
Today I installed a replacement switch from Victoria British, a parts supplier outside of Kansas City. I ended up having to use some of the hack-job wiring to get it to work correctly, but I did put a new plug-in terminal on the wire and convered it with heat-shrink tubing. Now the switch on the steering column works!
On to the brake lines next, as well as figuring out why the sidemarker lights aren’t working.
