Sorry, but I thought the original question addressed the "push to test" switch. I only have a '73 Midget and that's all I'm familiar with. The brake fail warning assembly and switch on that car is on

Today I was searching for a non-LBC part in a local salvage yard when I spied a square-body Sprite with a hardtop. There were no visible identification tags left on the car, except for the body numb

Yes, the SP250 came to America. There is someone on the Healeys list who had a completely-restored one recently run into and totalled by a truck or something. I saw one or two of them racing at Watk

I found an absolutely perfect dash for my '73 in a junkyard car that literally had NO floors, or any other useful part on the car. The yard guy sold it to me for $10, since "we don't sell any of that

If you can't get a repair panel for it, you might try what I did. I removed the aluminum trim panel from the bottom of the bonnet, then cut access holes in the sheet metal underneath the trim. That p

The first thing I would check is the attachment of the wires on the back. Make sure they are connected securely. If they are, then there could be a loose or cracked connection inside the tach. Steve
