[TR] TR3A 3rd Brake light

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

Here's that guy in CT.

It's a very nice solution for our small cars. I have one under my TR6 roll bar
following the example from one of our club members (thanks Denis). I also
installed the litezupp LED rear/brake lamps so I light up like a xmas tree
when I touch the brakes.

I bought a third brake light from this guy in CT at Stowe about four years
ago. It is one of these LED jobbies about 12 inches long.  I replaced the two
center Lift the Dot pegs in the center back and replaced with 10-32 stainless
machine screws and mounted this this by finishing off with chrome acorn nuts.
Those behind me definitley know when I hit the brakes.

I'm not a guy who particularly likes to be noticed, but when I'm braking in
the TR3A, I do.B  Uh huh.B  A lot.



....So,B  what I did was rewire both the parking lights and brake lights so
all
four lights in the back light up when I press the brake.B  ISTR that I had to
change the socket for the beehive flasher assembly to accept the dual bulb,
but I can't remember for sure.B  At any rate, even an English and Managment
major like me could do the math:B  four are better than two!
