Indicator switch

Post by namass1 »

Hi, I have a 1951 4 door and I have an issue with the indicator switch.It works perfectly, but the point is, where should the switch be? I have read that it ought to be on the dash somewhere, but mine is situated on the right side of the parcel shelf.I would like to get it right, so can someone help, please?

The series MM models were on the right side of the parcel shelf in an awkward place to reach.

An MM 4dr would be a self cancelling switch fitted through the underside of the dashboard to the right of the steering column so that the white bakelite lever points out towards the driver and the main body of the switch, which is quite bulky is up behind the instrument panel next to the door. Bit of a luxury thing on the 4drs as 2dr saloons and convertibles had a non self cancelling switch bolted to a little bracket on the bottom flange of the dash inthe same area - far right (assuming RHD car) but with the whole switch on view as it has a little red warning light in the boss.
Hope that makes sense, hopefully someone will post a pic!
