Rear bulb holder(s)
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2021 12:37 pm
Hi Groupies,
As my rear lights were not showing adequate light and the indicators were slow, I checked and cleaned the earthing points.
Not really any better.
Next on the list is the terminal points to the light bulb
Again, not really any better.
Hmmm, bulb holders out again and emery the inside connectors where prominent.
Still not bright enough.
Right, new holders from Rimmers.
Quality not good enough and only 2-pole received.
CW out of stock so another lot purchased from LD Parts.
On replacing them I notice that holders, such as 518041, are two pole. The present one's in my vehicle are 3-pole (probably due to the tow bar wiring requirement).
So, the question is; Does anyone know whether 3-pole types are still available and from where. Perhaps from another marque? I've checked Dolomite and TR7. Same part number for the Stag and the Stag one's are 2-pole.
Help!
