Dim dip

Feb 16, 2006 5 Replies

Dear guys,



How is the floor mounted dim dip switch fitted to the floor? I don't fancy drilling holes in a freshly painted floor. It is a retro look loom I am ordering so it isn't a question of accuracy.



If it is, how else could I do dim dip with a mk1 column and switch panel?



Cheers

Hi Muff, IIRC , there where 2 small holes drilled in the floor, with 2 nut and bolts fixing it in ,I think the bolts were 2BA size, I recall as an apprentice, having to hold a screwdriver on the bolt while some one else fitted the nuts, until some one decided to weld a bolt on either end of a 3" piece of welding wire, then bent in to shape, fitted to the switch and pushed through the floor, this only took 1 person to fit it, the wiring loom ran straight up past the clutch pedal if I recall, You could always mount it on a piece of wood and silicone the wood to the floor ??

Oops,,,, did I say silicone,,,,,,,, I meant panel bond............ Fitzy

cheers for the info. will look into alternatives
