Talking Switcherama

This so reminds me of the Madadash I installed in my Mini in '72. £11, half a week's take home at the time.



I ripped this picture from the cloud, but it shows the model I fitted. Having moved the switches for the lights; reversing light; wipers etc. to the upper strip of the long panel at the bottom, with a totally unnecessary warning light beneath each, it was still less than half full, so I fitted both boot and under-bonnet lights, but it still wasn't full. I next fitted a switch to isolate the brake lights, and another to operate them without touching the pedal (I know!). There was still room to shoehorn in two more switches, whose sole function was to operate their associated warning lights. A good friend at the time, now sadly deceased, said: "Mick, your car's a Tart Trap". I was actually flattered - the follies of youth!

Other mods are visible below.



Regards, Mick
