karoshi Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Anyone breaking a Manta B happen to have the dashboard lighting wire strip going spare? I'm looking for the two track ribbon cable that plugs in above the headlight switch and goes around the top of the dashboard connecting the two top dash-lights and the bulb that lights up the heater/fan control sliders? I've got my dashboard apart to replace the voltage stabiliser and I'm putting in LED bulbs at the same time but one of the two top lights is dead, tried swapping the two over and the same one is dead still so I figure it's the connectors on the wiring strip not the bulbs or holders.

lepo5 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I will have a look as I'm sure I have one as I have a dash clock set that is for parts only and I think the strip is still on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had a second look I think these will work, i'll try connecting them tomorrow to see if they will light up, however if it is an original setup your after then take up Julian's kind offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepo thanks for looking, if Julian has a standard one going I'll take that but I'm curious as to how that setup has been made, is it regular wires soldered onto the bulb connectors rather than the ribbon cables?

Yes it is pretty crude but it is regular wires soldered on to the bulb connectors, I tried it tonight and it does work although one of the bulbs is duff but it does work, and nothing a bit of heat shrink would not sort out.
