Oliver,
dip switch: My 69 has never had a rubber cap. I was in need of a new switch
and was lucky to find a guy on ebay that had one, origial Lucas, no rubber
cap. If you don't need a switch, I wouldn't bother.

wires:
I'm looking at the schematic's with you. Do you have the color ones?

The voltage regulator is on the back of the speedo.

The bottom relay appears to be the horn relay. Solid purple, purple with
yellow stripe, purple with black stripe.

The top relay has me puzzled. The 72 apparently has no hazard relay as does
the 70-71. They look to have a different switch and thus don't need a relay. I
can't quite make out all the wire colors on it. Obviously there's the DPO red
wire but that's no help. Is that yellow/green, yellow/purple, solid brown? Or
are these yellow or really white? With 5 connections, that sure looks like it
could be a 70-71 hazard relay, but the colors are not right at all. Do any of
these wires/colors go to the fuse box?

Sloane :)
