Dormobile pop top question

[mginty]

And another one! (yes I've finally managed to spend some time on my van after too long an absence)

I had to dismantle the pop-top struts as they got jammed and when I re-assembled I noticed this bracket with a screw hole in.
I can't recall what this was for. Does anyone know?
On my Dormi this is the rear strut if that helps.
Thanks

It’s got a threaded bolt and locknut that sits on the toggle switch for your ‘roof up’ warning light on dash.

Got to be honest with you it looks like you’ve fitted the struts and springs back to front …. may just be the way I’m looking at it.

Thank you Well if that bracket is for the warning light then they are def back to front! Makes complete sense now you mention it.
The warning light hasn't worked for years ever since the van was resprayed and the switch got gummed up with paint however I finally got round to hitting it with a hammer to free the switch
I did wonder if they were back to front - I didn't reassemble it originally after all the resto work. If you've got some pics of yours I'd appreciate it. And I'll see if I can't hunt some down
Thanks again

Just realised I've already asked these questions a couple of times lol:
In 2009...
And 2012...

My Dormie top was after-market, so I don't know if it even came with a warning light. I'll have to take a gander at it next time it's up.

Perfect thank you. Just got back from a couple of days away, had a great time as I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed going away in it! Some jobs for the winter...
