Dolomites don't do relay's. Pure good old amps through the switches. Jeroen |

Yes, one is permanent the other is through the ignition switch. There should be relays on a lot or circuits...but there wasn't from the factory. |

I still think of relays as a novelty, and I'm not that old, as all the cars I had growing up never had relays or if they did it was just the one like for the horn. Mr Lucas has been a tad unjustly maligned, just as with any other, at the time ubiquitous, mass producer of product they build and deliver to a cost. Could be worse, like the Magneti Marelli stuff I've encountered in years gone past! |

It's very hard to make exact reproductions of Italian harnesses. It's almost unnatural to fabricate because I'm always tempted to improve because that's so easy to do. Jeroen |
