[TR] FW: TR3 Reverse Lamp - revisited plus my plans for the week

[Carl TR]

Following Chris' comment I made a modification to the switch mounting.

The cover is made from the 'bucket' mounting for a windshield washer pump
(it was a damaged pump) and a coil plug wire boot.  Fit perfectly.  Now I
won't have to worry about a stray water spray hitting the hot side of the
switch.  
Mount is still at:

Hope all is well with everyone this day after Christmas.   I am off all this
week so I am hoping to make great strides in getting the project done.  I'll
be finishing up the seat re-assembly today as well as working on the never
ending battle of the under-dash electrics.   Next (after electrics) is the
floor insulation and carpeting.  I bought a small piece of high temp (1750d)
heat insulation (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-050508/ ) to place
between the exhaust system and the floorboard/tunnel areas plus a product
called EZCool (http://www.lobucrod.com/ ) to install under the carpet.
We'll see if they help with the heat buildup.

Enough for now.  
Carl

Looking good. Is the switch made for outside function?

I like the lamp as well. I found a lamp that looked OK at a vw bug catalog.
Close to correct period, too. I'll be wiring it up during the holidays to
the reverse switch on the Toyota transmission (hvda).
