Thanks very much, It turned up in the post this morning. More Karma points accrued

I'm still looking , it any body has one 😬

Can anyone help me out with a O/S/R RED lens, not the reflector one. I've just noticed mine has a small hole in it. Anyone got one languishing in there sheds ? Id like to buy it. Thanks Johnny

No problems, I found one on eBay last night , and bought that one😀

I just checked on eBay again and found one I hadn't seen before. A MK2 one that looks the same, for a very reasonable £15 , so I've bought that one 😗

Thanks. Yes I've seen them. I was hoping to pay about £15 , that seams reasonable to me, that's what I'd be asking if I was to sell one .

Live to the motor, motor earth to switch,motor earth's though switch. Out to resistor.or to earth direct for full speed. I'd wired it wrong on switch 😂

At a pinch I'd take any colour and paint it.

Black preferred 😗

Hi all, I'm looking for a reasonable priced RHD steering column surround for my 1965 Cortina. Thanks Johnny

I'll have a look tomorrow with a meter😜

I don't think it's the resister now, as I took it off , and the rivited tabs were loose, so I soldered them to the rivit. Checked it for continuity, put it back and it was the same symptoms. I'm going to have to check the rest of the wiring tomorrow, as you know , when I changed it from lhd to rhd o used the lhd wire loom , and flipped it over, then had to extend some wires. I suspect it's an earth issue, not being switched, it looks like 12v to motor, and earth though the resistor through the switch.🤔

Thanks for the info. Mine looks more like a coil ballast. The terminals were loose, I soldered them, and had continuity. If I join the wires together , I get full speed, but with the resistor in line , I get a reduced speed, on both positions one and two. I guess I may have to look into the live feed wiring to the motor tomorrow, I've done something wrong🙄

Hi all, I'm going through the dash electrics, and find I only have one speed on the heater blower fan. I think the resistor is probably duff. The Club don't list one , anyone got one for sale ? Thanks Johnny

Hi, Thanks for that. It might do the job. Most people selling on eBay are only selling the glass, I'd need a complete one. I don't think the local breakers yard is open at present , I need to look into that.
