I'm wondering about the wiring for the fog/driving lights in vintage rally cars, like the works TR4s (6VC, etc), where there was a _single_ fog light and a _single_ driving light. I've got a Lucas f
I can't speak from the experience of having actually seen one of the factory cars, but speaking generally of that era, one fog and one driving was the way to go - got you the functions of each withou
Thanks. That site looks quite informative. I've been following Dan Master's wiring design from his TR6 electrical book. It's setup this way as well with two relays, one for fog and driving, using th
Just a thought ... when you're running down the road (which presumably is when you need bright lights the most), the highest voltage is not at the battery, but rather at the alternator output termin
Thanks for the idea. My TR6 currently has a rebuilt Lucas alternator (not sure of the model since there is no plate on it). I might look into that Bosch or GM alternator upgrade. Since my TR6 is a la
You could use a three way switch, but I wouldn't. I've often been in driving situations where there's oncoming traffic, so beams need to get dipped at times, but I want all the light I can get. A ral
This is an interesting point. I recently came across an article (which, of course, I can't find right now) that points out that a three-wire alternator is better at keeping the system voltage high,

It actually should be as close to the battery as practical, the starter solenoid is a good place. There normally is a "safety bypass" inside the alternator, that prevents the output from going sky h

Even if it's wired with 10 AWG wire directly to the battery (which it isn't, there are connectors and on some cars an ammeter, all of which have resistance); 10 AWG copper wire has a resistance of a
Hi all, I checked the archives and could not find anything on this so I will ask: - What would period correct fog/driving switches be for a '59 TR3a, pictures anywhere? - What would be a good/correct
Someone on list was selling under dash OEM Lucas switch panels at one time. Was is Justing Wagner? I remember that they were listed on a web site with another product, and I think it was Justin's gas
