Went to fit a track rod end from ECP, completely fucking wrong despite having the correct part number twice on the bag.
I don't know why I bothered I should just have ordered from Rock auto.

Bought another oil pressure warning light switch.

These things seem to be disposable service items these days.

See also in-line brake light switches. Ended up with putting a relay on the latest one.

So far this one has lasted well, I think because it's only driving LEDs.

Yes, I fitted LED brake lights to the Morrises along with the relays...Here's hoping, this time!

I tried to get it undone but I forgot how bad the access is from above.

Gave it a thump with the wrench and it worked one time.

I pulled the bulb out for now.

There was a lambo dealer just down from out ‘hotel’ on Van Ness street in San Francisco that the young un wanted to drool through the window at. When we got there, it had gone and was replaced with things far more to my taste!
This was particularly beautiful- not sure what it is vvv

Sorry for the through window shots. They weren’t open to mere window-lickers like us!
