Dave,

Never seen one before, but obviously a headlight switch with built in fuse.
Made in Mexico.  Aftermarket.  Lucas stuff was made in the UK,back in the day.

Whats the best way to clean the fuse box?  It functions just fine, but has overspray and years of dirt on it.

Maybe soak it in brake fluid?

	That?s a good way to get the paint off.
	After the brake fluid, give it a good wash in SimpleGreen or something, then clean all the metal with fine wire brush. You can?t really get into the rivet area, so follow up with a spray of electronic contact cleaner.  If rivets are loose, tighten them gently.
	Even after your good efforts, it may not be 100%.  They are not expensive, so don?t spoil a good drive by retaining dodgy fuse box.

WD40 has a spray contact cleaner. It will not hurt paint. Look on Amazon. Use a tooth brush. 
I have used it on mine.

I use a Dremel tool with a brass wire brush to get into the fuse 
contacts and clean them off. You need to get all the oxidation off so 
you don't drop too much voltage in the fuse box.

CLR kitchen cleaner works well to clean on copper and brass.  Also 
vinegar with salt mixed in.

I often use Spray Nine for tasks like this. It is a very degreaser and also
cleans the contacts like vinegar does.
I always have a spray bottle close at hand.

Interesting, I?ve been using either Castrol super clean or simple green.  Is there any significant difference with spray nine in price, effectiveness or ingredients?

Took the cover off this to clean, and, btw, you can still see where those stickers were.  I used steel wool and brake fluid to no avail.

19 and 20 (using his labels) connect to ground.  Should I try to fix this or toss it?  don't they make a digital one now?

Car was running and driving when I got it, but I did not test the blinkers before I took it apart.  You would have loved (hated) his wiring.  He did the entire car using red, blue, and black wires.

When I bought the car there was no heater.

I purchased a used heater, and I'm looking at how to actually put it in.

It looks to me like you have to remove the two small tubes on the bottom half, put it in, then put them back on?  you can't angle it in?  Barney's site says (I believe) you have to remove these.  Number 17 here -  http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/heater/hr102r.htm

I'm hesitant to do much experimenting as the car paint is new and I don't want to scratch it.

I am just really confused.  when I test this, and I have a used one that a vendor says tested good, I find that terminals 5 and 1 (see Barney's webpage) connect to ground when I use a continuity tester.  On the workbench terminals 1 and 5 show connection to the casing, which I am pretty sure is supposed to be grounded.

Can someone explain to me why this is right?  I really want to make sure I don't have an errant ground.

What do 4 and 8 test?? Has the cover been fitted the wrong way round as

Dave,

In your attached picture, the relay is mounted upside down.  Normally 
the single hole mounting tab goes at bottom, while the three hole 
mounting tab goes at top, and #1 terminal will be at top right.

The cover appears to be right way around, like it was never 
removed.  If you flip the unit over with single hole mount at bottom, 
then the cover will also be right side up with terminals 1 and 5 at top.

Reason for your electrical confusion is as shown in the picture the 
wires are on the wrong termainal numbers.  See correct wiring diagram here:
http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/pics/circ_f2.gif

And there are NINE electrical connections.  The shell of the relay 
has to be grounded on the body of the car for the relays to 
click.  You may need to scrape a little paint off of the rear side of 
the firewall to make ground connection through one of the screws.

Barney has a way to test these off the car, but its incomplete.

This unit passed that test but not this one.  I was very fortunate to hear from another very knowledgeable person who guided me through this.

Thank you Leon.

I had some OK weather, so spent a bunch of time trying to get like with like, or at least photos of the parts collection.

There are some fun things in it.
Probably four sets of tail lights scattered among the boxes, starters, alternators, turbo kit

A brand new set of Arias pistons

Lots of dizzies:

It's crazy what you find when you actually go through a few decades worth of collecting parts.

Wow - that is really a lot Larry!
I recognized an ash tray, which I still have new as a present of a fellow
BGT owner.
I never installed it, as I do not smoke.
But is was on the list of extra's for the GT according to the BMIHT "birth
certificate".

Cheers,
Hans

Subject: [Mgs] seat foams

I've been searching around for the seat foams for the competition/deluxe seats for an MGA.  Anyone know where I can get those?  the usual suspects don't carry them.
