I was searching my Moss catalog last night looking for another little piece of something & I noticed that early TR3s had their brake light integrated in with the license plate light. It struck me I c

I had also thought of that approach as well but I am not sure the way Dan Masters systems wires the flashers if I could make it work. I may have to email dan to see if it can be done without a lot o

I've always been of the opinion that Standard invented the Third Brake Light... they just didn't come up with the first and second brake lights until later. The swap you mention should be easy enough

Should be absolutely no problem. The turn signal wiring actually doesn't change at all; the only change is to add a second filament in the turn signal bulbs/lamps and to run a new wire from one of t

Yes, I read the original research from the 60s (one of previous lives was spent as a professor), the 3rd brake light should be high! But in our LBCs there is really no place high enough to be near t

John, a friend here in the UK has been shunted twice in his Spitfire and has come up with a neat solution, though I'm not totally sure it's fully legal. It definitely works! As we often drive top-up

There is a way that you could make yourself more visible.? Of course there are companies who sell strips of LED lights nowadays.? You could always run a set of these either high or low, wire it with

Something I've thought about but never got around to trying ... build a line of high intensity red LEDs (with clear housings) into a quarter-round bar of Lucite that would fit just under the lip of

Ahhhhhh!!! Again Ahhhhh I am still thinking about that as well. I was even looking at LED light & they now have some that turn 90 degrees to the socket so they might work in our brake lights - see ht

That is precisely what we did on Casper ... it draws a frown from the purists, but we like the added safety factor more. The last I heard the Ron Francis bulbs were no longer available, if there has

Got home and had a chance to check cars & parts ... To install the early center brake light from a TR2-3 on a later TR3/A/B, you'll have to add a largish hole centered behind the lamp. I didn't meas
