Thanks Mike, and I haven't forgotten that some of you are still wanting a "plug & play" conversion kit that'll make your lights brighter and prevent switch meltdown.
I was hoping to give up the work I do with students and reduce the private workload, which would have meant that the relay kits, plus several repairs and restoration work to period radio/audio kit would have jumped closer to the top of the "to do" list, but hey, any port in a storm and the LEA is very generous with the fuel expenses.
The image shows the installation using modern, 40 Amp micro-relays which are very reliable and cheap, I have also supplied some kits with period-style Lucas-a-like relays in steel cans but they're three times as much as the plastic ones and frankly their looks aren't the only similarity they have with the '70s Lucas stuff.
There's a Maxi and a Marina going around locally with the wiring mod fitted, one has the modern relays and is proving reliable in a car that's used as regularly as my own Dolomite, the other owner insisted on the metal relays initially and I've now supplied him with yet another pair under warranty from the supplier I use.
Wiring can be supplied in plain colours or as an exact match for the Lucas codes, anyone who has sufficiently accurate colour vision to know the difference between - for example - purple and black can fit these to their own car, instructions are provided. It's also useful to be able to tell the difference between white and red when either of those are combined with blue....
It's up to the car owner where they put the relays, mine are in that position simply because a handy hole had already been drilled there some time ago and the other was drilled to match. From above, without a spirit level, at night.
(Battery terminal insulating sleeve removed for the purpose of taking the picture, but I do have one, honest).
