Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted September 1, 2000 Leadership Team Share Posted September 1, 2000 My MOT man tells me I need to fit the little indicator repeater lights to my cycle wings. Got the units but can't work out the best routing for the wiring. Any ideas for the best way to go about it? The cars a '95 K-series. The wires don't seem long enough to make the connection inside the bodywork, so I assume I need to route into the rear of the indicator? Whichever way I do it it seems it will be very untidy? Can anybody can take a photo and e-mail me? Many thanks in anticipation, Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Suggest you go to another DOE (MOT) man Stu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acw Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 If you *have* to fit them - a solution I know a couple of guys have used is to use Ford Transit Van repeaters mounted on the bodywork - it's a lot neater. Email Roy.Booth@reuters.com and he'll give you the measurements - have a look at ftp://ftp.se7ens.net/pub/pictures/cars/Roy%20Booth%20-%20W111%20FLY%20(4).jpg I have a '94 HPC and mine passed the MOT without any repeaters!

bl0498 Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 Surely there is no requirement to fit these repeater indicators? I thought Caterham only introduced these to meet SVA requirements in 98? My 97 vauxhall does not have these and will need to visit the local MOT man soon!

Paul R. Posted September 3, 2000 Share Posted September 3, 2000 Stuart. Black earth wire from light is attached to one of the screws fixing the cycle wing onto the wingstay. Green wire is inside a plastic tube to protect and is routed along wingstay down to top wishbone and along wishbone entering hole in bodywork under wishbone bush and then connected to econoseal plug (or bullet connectors on older models). Held in place all the way with small black cable ties. Sounds like you may need to extend green wire. Trust this assists. Can e mail photo if you wish - you have my mobile no. Paul R.

Pierson Broome Posted September 4, 2000 Share Posted September 4, 2000 Whilst at the recent L7CoGB Brands Hatch track day, I noticed a Blackbird-engined car with small side repeaters installed into/on to the outside of the headlamp bowls - very neat, and no need to worry about mounting them on the cycle wings.
