Repeaters look neat
Thanks Tony! Serendipity at work in my favour once again! I "just happen" to have an old Peugeot Expert van in my yard and noticed that the side repeaters on it are roughly the same size and (trapezoid?) shape as the bottom of the B post. A Q+D measure suggests they will go in and a trawl of ebay provides some cheap lamps from Hong Kong or somewhere. Despite the quoted delivery sometime in September, they turned up within a week of order! Even more fortuitous, there is a lovely big round hole in the inner B post immediately opposite where they fit, so wiring at this point is a doddle. However depth of hole is an issue so i'll probably trim down the bulbholder and solder wires onto the plug tags then make a block connector to attach it to the loom - with a bit of extra wire so the lamp can be unclipped from the outside (i've made sure this is possible) and pulled out to change a bulb if need be! Worst part? Probably needing to run a wire from the front to back loom on the N/S of the car, all the way acros the floor and up the O/S B post to the other lamp! A lot of work for a simple effect, but i'm beginning to think about the Modified car cup at the 2020 TDCIR (I think you have enough of those) following years I probably won't bother as it'll be my daily from then on and it's hard to keep a daily clean enough to win prizes!

Yeah, I thought about that, but modern mirrors fitted like that are too big and clumsy for what is today a very small car.The indicator repeaters look neat,I fitted focus repeaters in my front wings,was going the fit door mirrors with indicators built in but thought they looked to big for the soloists Dave I thought long and hard about the repeaters and settled for the B pillar as it's similar to the T2000 fitting. Finding the right shape lights was just the icing on the cake! Steve |
