Thanks Darren,
But I think yours is wrong as I thought that the mounting fixings were meant to be vertical with the wiring coming out of the side but I may be wrong.
If you could give me measurements of where yours is positioned I could always position mine in the same spot and if anyone ever picks it up I can always blame it on you Grin

No just kidding but the measurements would be helpfull.

69Ish you are correct. The wires come out towards the peddles. There is a black plastic pad that fits to the floor and it has a turn up with 3 recesses to accommodate the wire and hold them in position. This pad also insulates the wire from the floor. The fixings are horizontal as you indicated. I will need to measure a car for you to get the correct measurements. There is also a rubber cap available that fits over the foot activated switch. This was never standard but it does look smart.
If you are restoring a car you can give me a ring. I only charge for silly questions.

Thanks Peter,
I need to get a interior manual for starters I have the other 4 manuals but am missing that one I will get some pricing of you for some interior components and some exterior stainless trims I need when I become a little more cashed up, I am just doing what I can at the moment with what I already have ordered.
If you could get me some measurements it would be much appreciated
Regards Rodney

Pete,
I was not meaning to offend (For lack of a better word), I was not insinuating that you were getting a plug in for your shop.
I was just stating that my business has been very quiet in the past 18 months or so and I am not all that cashed up as to be able to be spending money on my project at the moment. I am still looking for an interior assembly manual though.
I am definitely interested in using you as a supplier as everyone that I have heard speak of you has had nothing but praise bar one instance and I do beleive that was only a lack of communication between the pair of you.
I will get pricing of you in time for the other items as stated in the earlier post and anything else I will require but I do not wish to waist yours or anybody elses time if I am in no position to be able to purchase.
Regards Rodney

Grasshopper.........you have learnt well, indeed no point deduction and possibly an added point depending on degree of difficulty. Wink
