I've got what I think is a standard 009 distributor with no vacuum and thinking about an upgrade to electronic.I have a blue Bosch coil and good leads. Questions... 1. I think that I can just get the module rather than the whole kit, is this...

    Gas struts to Westy poptop

    Hi Andy Yes I would start at the roof. When I did it I had no idea so had a piece of wood attached to the ledge at the bottom . This allowed me to slide the bottom bracket to adjust drilling new holes in the wood as necessary rather than in the bodywork. I am sure that all dimensions are the...

    Gas struts to Westy poptop

    Hi Andy Some more photos .you will see from the first photos that the bracket that attaches to the roof locates just before the roof stiffening "rib" this was fortunate as it keeps the bracket flat. I had envisaged that I may have needed a levelling pad but didn't. Once this is in position the...

This would have been relatively easy ...

    Indicator switch problem

    Thanks Dub I had a chat with just kampers Who agreed that the switch they supply is of poor quality but is the best repro available. They pointed out their caveat that the unit may need to be adapted to suit etc. I pointed out that that may well be the case but the unit should function straight...

    Indicator switch problem

    Thanks Sparky I was quite gentle so don't think I've damaged it. On reading various things I think the "click" I recall may have been the relay. My relay seems to be the original and may be broken or perhaps isn't working due to the detached wires. I still need to find out where the loose brown...
