It is the hydraulic type, Gary, and no one saw the pleas in time I suspect.

Re: Thames Valley Group meeting tonight.

Re: Thames Valley Group meeting tonight.
Dave try and get a used one as its well known that the new Lucas Chinese replacements fail sometimes losing all the brake fluid . Roy
Re: Thames Valley Group meeting tonight.
Agree with Roy. That's the problem these days with new replacement electrical components. If buying new, you have to buy in bulk because you just know that premature failure is inevitable.Dave Clark wrote:I bought two new switches for a total of less than £10
A couple of years ago a Spridget owner wrote about his findings when he cut a new and an Old Stock brake switch apart to compare the design. In conclusion he wondered how the flimsy design of new switch worked at all!
For electrical stuff, I now buy used old stock if I can't find NOS.
