MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Flasher Switch Question
Can you tell me which wires go to which terminal, please? The two on the left go to 7 and 8, and the right-hand one goes to 2.

Input to the switch is to the single terminal, 2 should be a green/brown wire if your loom is correctly colour coded. Output is, surprisingly, for the left and right flashers through terminals 7 and 8 being green/red for left and green/white for right. If when connected the wrong side flashers, flash, then just swap the two 7 and 8 wires over. |

Thank you, Guy. I've reached the middle of the dash; chiefly my extra bits to do now. Did you like my composition? |
Nick and Cherry Scoop |
Yes Nick, I thought the effect of the shaddow was particularly well balanced with the juxtaposition of the single, sharpened pencil. Says a great deal with just a few simple forms. |
GuyW |
You've hit it exactly. I'll ask you to do the words for my next Royal Academy catalogue. |
Nick and Cherry Scoop |
I see it more as a metaphor highlighting the chasm beteeen good and evil and the effect of religion verses consumerism in today's world. Nothing more, nothing less. But perhsps I'm over simplifying. |

One thing you've missed, Gary. The space bottom left serves as a searing reminder of the absence of courgette. |
Nick and Cherry Scoop |
I've previously got into trouble with mentioning anything from the Cucubita pepo family of vegetables, so thought that i'd be unusually discreet in this instance. |
G Lazarus |
That's a really worthwhile filter. You're my kind of critic, Gary. |
Nick and Cherry Scoop |
Nick, what's a 'space bottom'. Is the answer likely to offend or is it a punctuation issue? |
Jeremy MkIII |
Isn't space bottom the lower half of the universe? Coat in hand ;-) |
