Ask Dave Boulton on Facebook, or I can pass his number on, he will have the bits you want. |

Bullets. Female multiblocks are what is fitted to the car. (like on the back of an 80's D*lly's hazard switch, but round). Minispares might have them? |

So my learning has taught me this evening that the spades provide (always on) illumination of the switch. Such illumination it hides the decal telling you what the switch does! On the 2 pin switches the pins are simply + and - and are switched by the switch, handy. Irritatingly the smallest of my small bullet connectors is too big so I need to work out a way of attaching a cable.   Mini spares do a plug thing but at £5 a go it seems expensive. Any ideas why minis use spades AND bullets? |

And with the six pin plugs, the top for are switched + and - but weirdly, the bottom two work the other way, i.e. i goes live when the switch is off, is this to switch between circuits? |

BL was a law unto its self the change over to the almost universal Lucar spade conector would have probably sparked a national strike involving Liverpool dockers and London bin men and the panick buying of sugar. |
