®evo03 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Three wires, Brown is earth is the switch marked - and + ? Two wires for the spades on switch, other is for light for switch, which you have missing! Think the light wire will be grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deffinitely would like one of mine in my garage at home at some point in the future for that reason as having to drive across the town to mine is restrictive .

1200bandit Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 It’s a bit snug in the garage can’t open the door a lot ,so when doing the work in the inside the car getting in and out of the manta can be a bit of a tight. Will do a bit more tomorrow night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Good fix, should work, if you find the tab, make one, or beg,, borrow steal one, think it can be soldered back on, hard to do upsidedown, glass in place. Is ur clock working, never had success with these. Going great guns, getting the wee issues sorted, keep er lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Epoxy, not cheap got mine from Farnells http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&sku=2917615 I also bought these to use with the epoxy, might help. They are pretty strong https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223527499727 Edited January 10, 2022 by Jessopia74 Add tabs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think that if l glue it on the screen will have to be removed, unless l can figure a way that the connector will not get glued to the screen seal. Maybe put a piece of thin plastic between the connector and the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoxy will not bond to the seal very well anyway, but if you can carefully wedge the rubber away and smear on some Vaseline it definitely can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 never had any sucess in the past with any of the conductive glues or epoxys. only thing that seemed to work well ( for me anyway !) was self adhesive copper sheet ( must be the type with conductive adhesive) found it on ebay from a music shop .used for guitar screening ! you can then solder to this no problem.but be carefull. localised heat on glass is always a worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Looks like someone cutted in the plastic to fit those headlights. I'v got in both my Manta's those double but I'v got H1 halogen bulps in all, so the inside two are high beams and the outside two the normal ones and parklights.

I have heard that this headlight setup is illegal and you may fail the MOT with the side lights illuminating like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
