Went out to the mini ear to get some more sound deadening up and i saw abit of floor that looked rusty so i jabbed it with my finger and it went through so now both footwells need some welding



Also im considering putting a bottom dash rail back in (really dont want to, i thikn it looks great with out it) as i cant seem to find a easy way to push the switch pannel back to hide the back of the switches. And i have not got a clue how to wire in the new toggle switches as the old switches have two spade connector things and lots of wires going into the back and there are only two spade connector things on the back of the toggle switches

Cheers Luke.

3 of the 5 switches only need an on off (2 spade) connection anyway, the light one need an off, on A, on A+B (3 spades) or use seperate switches for sidelights and dipped beam like i have (only need 2 spade toggles each) And the hazard switch leave it as it is, and mount it somewhere inconspicuous

the small spades on the sides of the standard switches are purely for the bulbs inside the switch, don't need to worry about them on toggles

ahh right cool, what do i do with all the wires going into the back then group them up and stick them into a spade connector thing?

For the 3 basic on off switches, cut the big white ISO type connector off, and crimp/solder a spade connector to both the wires, then connect one to each spade terminal on the switch. Tape up the smaller spade connectors that are for the bulbs.

For the headlight switch, if you're going to use 2 separate switches for dipped and sidelights, you need to cut the big ISO off, and you'll be left with 3 wires, you need to find which ones go to what.

There should be a fatter wire which will be the 12v power, you need to splice this wire, so you have two connectors coming off it. a connector will then go to each switch (dipped and sidelights)

The other 2 wires left over will be for the dipped and sidelights, find out which one is which and then put a spade on each of these and connect to appropriate switch

Cool cheers mate
but what does ISO mean??

Cheers Luke.
