<DIV><FONT size=2>E10 are screw and were used originally, but a replacement
harness for a 1980 came with T10 which are wedge. E10 bulb holders are
metal and only have one wire as they pick up the earth from the metal gauge
case, T10 are plastic and so have an earth wire as well.</FONT></DIV>

behind, unless you have hands like ham hocks.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>CB indicator tell-tales are trickier as there is a strut
behind them, that's not there on the RB, but as said I saw no reason to replace
those unlike the gauges as I can see them even in the roadster top down in the
sun. The ticking is a bit of a give-away as well.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The 5050 E10 when used in my 75 V8 speedo just touched the
innards, I could see the needle moving as I pushed the holder in, so I had to
space it back a bit.</FONT></DIV>

fit MGBs" ones that are too long !!! I was advised by a big Smith gauge
outfit that I need T10s (Chinese speak) but that is not right as E10 seems to
be what is needed. I am pulling my dash to see what I
have. By the way if I pull the dash do I have to take off the
steering wheel?? I just need room to replace
bulbs.<BR></FONT></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
