Wanted - various Amazon parts

[222s]

1) Bracket for mechanical brake light switch, as used on late model RHD Amazons (& also I believe, the 1800E / ES). This is attached to the side of the pedal box by a locating pin and a bolt into a captive nut on the pedal box.

2) Driver's side front door trim in red - the one that always fades to pink

3) Passenger side front door - must be rust free.

4) NOS offside rear quarter.

5) Any other NOS estate panels considered!

The late brake switch bracket is the same for the RHD and LHD amazons. The e/es I have seen have a different switch bracket set up there. I've got one or two of the amazon brackets around if you can't find one close to home...

As a side note, my '68 GT (RHD but built in Sept. 67) has the provisions on the pedal box for this bracket but the brake lines are set up for the standard fluid pressure switch.

Ah - I'd seen the same part number listed in the books for the dual circuit 1800s. I guess it's a rhd vs lhd thing.

Thanks - that would be great! Could you PM me how much inc p&p?

Mine is a an earlier '67 (registered in the UK in Sept, & apparently built before the factory summer shut-down), and it also has the appropriate mountings but as the hydraulic switch. Upgrading to the later one has been the plan for a while now, not just for reliability but also since if the mechanical switch fails, when it is replaced the brakes won't need bleeding....

I've seen some late 1800S with that bracket (in the LHD cars, not sure/never seen that window of RHD 1800s) but some of the really late 1800s cars had the funky pedal box and I think a different linkage up under there. I think those had a different bracket... At any rate, I'll shoot you a PM this evening when I have dug out the box with those in there... I think the '67 Amazon down in the field might have one as well...

On my dads amazon I'm sure we used a 240 switch and bracket.

In the two photos below, the one on the left is an amazon/some 1800s. The one on the right is the late 1800s (b20) one that might have also come on the E/ES but I'm not 100% sure on the E/ES.

PM sent...

Hi Chris, the one on the left is what I'm after - thanks!

Hi Paul

Would you be kind enough to do a photographic "how to" of this pedal switch project please? I'd never thought of doing this before and can well see the benefits considering the failure rate of the the old style brake light switch

All the best for the next few months (twin 1, twin2)

Will do! As your car is '67 like mine, it may well already have the mounting points on the pedal box, in which case a bracket like this should bolt straight in.

Hi Chris,

Bracket received earlier this morning - many thanks!

Cheers,

Paul
