[TR] [6pack] Where did this come from?

[John Macartney]

If memory serves correctly, the fuel inertia switch to turn off the fuel pump in the boot in the event of emergency was positioned here. It was later moved to the engine bulkhead alongside the battery where a different switch was used. These were all light grey in colour and could be disabled/enabled by pressing the button on the bottom of the switch. Maybe this is where it’s currently located on this particular car and is probably as a result of a warranty recall notice issued at the time. This switch actually proved to be a very useful anti-theft deterrent on all the fuel injected cars made by the company.

 

Can’t be sure, but hell, it was fifty years ago and I’ve long since lost my file of Engineering Change bulletins / Service Rectification notes! 😊

Looks like an electrical part, maybe switch back cover.

After taking the TR5 for its first decent drive, I found this at my feet.  Not sure if it a TR5 part or maybe had been hanging around during the restoration and just became dislodged. 

  

I know there aren’t too many TR5s out there, but so many parts are the same as the TR250 or 6. 

  

If anyone recognizes it, please let me know.  Thanks!
