I might try the washer modification. I made some seat runners a while back but the extra height of the seat (OK, only 3/4", using box section) ended up with me looking directly at the sunvisor (i'm quite large... 6'5")

I have this problem too & found the washer-only mod didn't yeild enough space.
The newer design Mudrails make the seat even higher than the old, so I salvaged my old ones off my previous, and took out/reduced the height of all the supplied washers to get the seat a s low as poss.
It's now just low enough, and improves as the seat base compresses/disintegrates.

The steering column shroud has provision for an identical switch on the opposite side to the light switch, so if you really wanted to you could move the switch from the left of the column to the right.

I have in mind using a modified second lightswitch mounted on the right for auxiliary purposes at some time in the future, making use of this "feature".

here you are

you can move the light switch to the opposite side, in the place were should be installed the AUX or FOG switch.

Question........

When I have my headlights on and then turn the ignition off the headlights go off and only the side lights stay on..... so the whole removing the key with the headlights on wouldn't work anyway?

Is it the same with you chaps?

Glyn

Yes. Same with all vehicles isn't it?? You cant have the actual 'headlights' on with the ignition in the off (lock)position, it mearly leaves the sidelights on, as if the switch stalk was in first position on normal use. The only way to bypass this to get the lights on with the ignition off, would be to hold the 'flash' switch on.

If the aim was to get the sidelights on with the keys out of the ignition, you need to turn the lights off, turn the ignition off and remove the key, then turn the sidelights back on.  15 plate 2.2SW XS

Just think it make's it awkward sometimes to put the key in the ignition. On another point I find the headlights off cars coming from behind seem to reflect off the front window making it look like a car is coming from another direction. Would anyone recommend tinting the back windows. Think the jeep is brill and looking forward to going offroad

you could put some curtains up and tie them back in the daytime  2.4 90 XS
