I'm sure I can attend to a defect in a PCB with two tracks, and if I can't then it's time for me to call it a day |

La la la, I've gone one better Alan
Then again, I could have spent a couple of leisurely hours frabbling about....... So I drilled a 1mm hole through the centre of each aluminium rivet that "secure" the festoon lampholder, then tinned the holder, and soldered a length of tinned copper wire to each lampholder clip. I then bent it over against the PCB and soldered the other side to the track land. Finally I washed any traces of flux and gunge off the PCB, the lamp holders, then carefully peeled the gaskets from the lamp lenses, and scrubbed them clean with an old toothbrush and some Cillit Bang (Barry Scott told me this on detailing world) I then reassembled the lamp holder to the lip spoiler, reapplied coppaslip to the threads, and after a quick wipe over with an oily rag and a Brillo Pad to the Primertallic finish, I refitted the spoiler. The finishing touch was a pair of nice Lucas 5W incandescent festoon filament lamps, none of this LED rubbish, real bulbs to prevent annoyance to other road users behind from the glare of hard white brilliant light scatter. Job done, well for today at least Brian |
