RogerH Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It is well known that the above switch can't be used if you wish to fit the TR6 14W motor to your 4 or 4A. I like a challenge It can be done. It is easy But you need to be brave - tin snips at the ready It requires opening up the switch and cutting a copper switch track Read HERE I'll be doing a live test within the hour but works with a test meter.

Nick Jones Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Good work. Switch looks similar to the Vitesse headlight switch. A feature I’d very much like to add to my cars is a separate stalk in reach of hands on the wheel with momentary action to be used to activate the auto-park circuit for a single sweep. Trust your test goes as desired!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteStupps Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I like it Roger, planning for a rainy day when everyone else is fretting about the heat! Hope it works. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Hi Folks, ooops!! I have found an issue. I did not take the 'Self Park' into consideration. Do NOT cut any wires until further notice. I'll get back ASAP. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTRacted Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It needs a relay to get self-park as per my post in Roger's link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Hi Folks, I have edited my TRR post and included RobH's relay Any 12V DC SPDT would do. I used an RS Components relay 533-0823 @ £1.58 HERE It now does what it should do. Many thanks to Rob for his relay idea. Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 Hi Folks, I have now installed the 4A switch + relay and it works well. The relay needs to sit on the lefthand side (nearside) of the switch as there isn't a great deal of room on the ignition side My relay is strapped with a cable tie to the switch body So as to ensure the relay pins are not under strain I fitted the relay to a small piece of Vero board (strip board, Perf board). I was not counting on the relay when I first looked into this Mod' but I am thankful to Rob for coming to the rescue. At the end of the day I now have an 'original' switch doing a good job with a superior motor. If anybody has trouble sourcing the RS Comps relay that contact me and I can get them Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
