They take different knobs. 78362 is 2.5 ohms. 78384 is 5 ohms (per Lucas 400e master catalog), 78405 is 15 ohms according to <a class="ox-3295285e1c-m_3777231391610529508moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/815/category/153" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.<wbr/>autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/<wbr/>product/815/category/153</a><br></div></div><pre>The higher resistance means you'll get less airflow (likely none at all for
the 15 ohm version) for any setting other than 'max'. But either of them
should give you "high" and "off", which are the only two setting I ever
found to be useful.
Neither appears to accept either of the stock TR3 knobs.
(I didn't check if they will fit in the same hole.)
