Yesterday was not a good car day for my little blue TR6. On the way to
work, in a driving rainstorm, I smelled plastic melting followed shortly by
stopped windshield wipers. No problem - rain-x! On the drive home, I felt
a funny vibration from the rear suspension. When I got home, I found a hot
u-joint. Oh, and while I was burning my hand at the back of the car, I
noticed coolant dripping on the floor at the front of the car - leaking
water pump.
Oh, well - pump, u-joints, switch - those are cheap parts, better than an
alternator or something worse. I call TRF to order all these goodies, and
learn that the wiper switch (turn, as opposed to rocker) is no longer
available!
Does anyone know of a source for these switches, a good used supplier, or
how the switch is wired internally? I imagine that I could use one of the
earlier rocker switches, but then I'd have to cut the existing dashboard
hole to the size and shape of the headlight switch.
Any ideas?
mike.
