[Tigers] Brake light switch

[Ron Fraser]

Stu

                I feel your pain when it comes to the charging system.   The generator system on my Tiger was a problem from day one.

After years of researching and thinking about converting to Alternator I finally pieced together a conversion I was happy with.

 

Parts needed

1965 style Ford Alternator

One of those one wire voltage regulators you attach to the back of the alternator

Make an alternator bracket

Make the original voltage regulator into junction block

 

I wrote this article up in 2003 and TE/AE published it in the Rootes Review – not sure which one

I included a drawing for the bracket, wire diagram and instruction for making the VR into a junction block

The alternator bracket is only good for the Ford style alternator; any other alternator would require an different bracket

 

For a totally stock look you would have to get one of those Alternators that looks just like a generator.

The Tiger has been taunting me this year.  The charging system, running lousy, then good, then lousy again, etc., all keeping me from the project I'd planned to do.  This time its the hydraulic brake light switch.

 

Yeah, I know, The warnings have been out there for years.  But this time I'm changing to a mechanical switch.  

 

So, does anyone out there have pictures of the bracket they built to hold the switch on the brake pedal arm?  I'm looking for ideas.
