help on id of parts and locations on car :D

[SII Josh]

Hi all,

i have a couple parts that are proving a bit hard for me to work out where/how they fit to the landy.

first is the high beam dip switch located on the floor, if some has time are they able to get a pic of how theres looks on the floor and post up the photo?

second is i have these two parts sitting on the bench (in photo) looking at me and i can't seem to remember where they belong, if any one knows what they are and where they belong please enlighten me :D

cheers in advance for you help everyone

If nobody chimes in beforehand, I'll take photos and see if I can find those bits when I get home - all panels are off ours at the moment, so they should be easy to spot.

Hi Josh,

I have seen the hi-beam switch on the floor (near the clutch pedal). I have also seen it mounted under the dash - imagine raising your left knee to touch the under side of the dash..

As for the parts - they are located on the inside of the tail gate. You attach the tailgate chains to it.

Cheers,
Grey Ghost

cheers grey ghost :D

another curve ball for all you landy mech heads :)

in the photo of the vent mechanism does any one know how the small washer and the half washer attaches to the shaft and in which order?

there seems to be a notch on the shaft but not sure which side the half washer goes on.

cheers again for all your help

Josh - this is what my high beam switch looks like.

The washer goes between the 'C' clip and the frame of the control, i.e. towards the knob.

There are two types of switch, that one and a stubbier looking one that I think was earlier, although they are interchangeable. Also, military 2a Landrovers (perhaps others?) had the wires extended and covered with a metal channel to put the switch between the clutch and the brake.

It goes on the sloping bit, right at the bottom and right against the bulkhead. Should be mounting holes for it and a hole in the bulkhead next to it for the wires.

The bulkhead that you have has the hole for the switch, but you have the wrong switch. I have a S2 Comm/Recon car that has the correct switch but it is garaged 11k's away so I'm unable to get an image for you.
Those 2 other metal parts that you asked about, (now I don't know much about anything) I have not seen those parts on a Series 2/2A Land Rover, they do not belong on the tailgate, the tailgate has 2 pigtails (or should have) for the chain to loop around, this makes it easy to remove chains n tailgate off the vehicle if the need arises, I think that they are off a Tailgate for a H.C.P.U, (twin cab 130) the elongated hole is what gave me the idea, anyway cheers Dennis
