Ruby wiring - Tiger - 05-11-2021
Still working on the front lights.
Managed to purchase two NEW OLD STOCK Sidelights they were the original but black not chrome.
I prefer these to cheap copies however the small brass connectors were missing so I managed to fashion these using brass cable bullet connectors.
The new harness was far too long so some trimming and bullet work needed.
The headlights which came with the car are unfortunately nonstandard so I have used Wipac H4 units with LED bulbs.
Gave up trying to find original headlights at reasonable price.
Which way to route the cable for the semaphore indicators ???
No provision on the harness for these.
Regards
Tim
PS just for information 3 faulty new dip switches were supplied !!

Brand new trafficators are WiFi - just fit and forget.
NOS, barn find, or lovingly rewound trafficators with bird's nest wiring, are powered by a wire that goes from behind the dash, up inside each A-pillar, horizontally along the roof area (though the wooden 'whale bone' area), and then down inside the B-post to where they are needed, I seem to remember.

The wiring for semaphore indicators on my Ruby follows the route that Colin suggested and my wiring seems to be original.

That’s how my semaphores are wired up Graham, but that was guess work !

Wi-Fi trafficators
That’s a new one on me
No cable connection needed ???
Thanks for suggesting the route looks good
