[Healeys] Headlamp switch

[John Sims]

I got mine from Charlie Hart  <mailto:hartcg at msn.com> hartcg at msn.com. There is a write up on it on my site in the My Modifications section of the Technical page. Just noticed that I call it a six fuse block but it is actually a 7 fuse block. Will correct that.

I would like to get one of those 7 fuse holders. What is the best source?

I have inline fuses connected to the head light wires coming off of the back side of the switch.

Yes, it seems so, I already have a fuse box and a new loom that I will install some time.
