Consumerize, I'm looking to position the jets on the bonnet, do you have any measurements?
I would PM you but the info might be useful to others. |

JWL, what I described is not a fault or earth leakage but part of the switch design.

Having just fitted el cheapo Chinese strip LED lights to the rear of my old 90, I found they had a constant glow when the (Carling Dash) switch was in th ... |

Do you have any electrical circuit diagrams for your model?

Thanks for the pointer, Brodit looks pretty good.

^^^Agree
Probably best to replace the bare crimp connectors (Pic #7) with shrouded ones for the 12v side of things.
