From: Mark Hooper <mhooper@digiscreen.ca>
I put in a nicely rebuilt J-type O/D transmission over the winter to
replace my slippy non-functional A-type. Previously I just had a switch
stuck under the dash for testing the unit. I bought an O/D switch for
the steering column on e-bay. I see that it has one set of contacts for
the switching of the O/D, and another that seems to be for pulling back
the lever. Looks like some sort of passing function. What is this for,
how is this connected, or have I been sold a unit that, although seems
to be correct (bullet connectors etc on the wiring harness), is not
actually from the TR6?
Mark, sounds more like a headlamp dimmer/flasher switch. What sort of
finger "tip" does it have, what are the wire colors, and does it have a
Lucas part number? It's possible that later OD column switches were
mechanically similar to the dimmer/flasher switch (I'm only familiar
with the earlier column OD switches, ala TR4)...and equally possible
that someone "improvised" with the switch you now have?
