Backmarker 6 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ah ........... was hoping to avoid mention of the plaster Suppose I'd better explain. The wing on my V8 is fitted with a high-level brake light. Coming into Tern Hill on the A41 I noticed in my rear view mirror the light swinging the breeze. On pulling into the next lay-by I discovered that one of the retaining screws had come adrift. No one had a spare but Rich kindly donated a screw from one of his headlamps ( but sadly not long enough ) So with no other option we removed the other screw and disconnected the retaining leads. Now we needed insulating tape to stop the 2 leads touching and causing a short. Contrary to what we all believed, we had no gaffer tape/plumbing tape/insulating tape of any description. Thankfully Mrs Oneshot came to the rescue with a box of sticking plasters Having taped up the leads we started again and thankfully nothing else came losse or fell off Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to post Share on other sites
