Hi Andy,

the ICI colour code is P030-8385

Best regards,

Peter

Anyway thanks for trying to help me. I want to change to a mechanical switch because of the problems as I have described. In the USA a fellow, Bill Blue, has produced some years ago a complete kit which he sold to members of SAOCA. I have emailed him in order to buy such a kit, but unfortunately he ...

The links goes to the Homepage of Holden. When arrived on the pages of brake light switches I see a whole bunch of them. Do you mean that the mechanical switch srews in at the same place where the hydraulic switch is screwed in? If so how should the switch operate then as a mechanical switch? I thou...

Thanks for the information. Do you know which type is exaxtly needed? I see different types of them. Do you know also how the switch is installed? I don't mean the wiring up but the mechanical part of it. If you have made some sort of bracket I appreciate a drawning and/or some measurements. Thanks ...

I have experienced over the years that once in about 2 years I have to install a new brake light switch, because after some time I have to depress the brake pedal very hard in order to get the brake light working. On the other hand a friend of mine who has also a Tiger still runs the same switch wic...

Hi Simon, I have heard great comments about the Pertronix too. I forgot to tell that regarding the Lumenition I have the Optronic system, not the Magnetic. At the same time I bought a new standard Ford dizzy to be sure that there should be no other causes that could interfere with the ignition syste...

Hi, I have for about 18 years a Lumenition electronic ignition in my Tiger and it never has given me any problems. Before that I had, just like you, a Mallory dual point system which did not give me problems but certainly some work in adjusting the points now and again. I sold my Mallory system to T...

Hi Tim, Thanks for your reaction. So I can relax on that one. Curious as I am I should like to know what happens when I push the brake pedal with the engine going idle. What causes the brake pedal to sink while afterwards all is okay again? I should appreciate it when you can inform me about this. I...

Hi gents, Just some more information about the trouble with the brakes. When the car is parked in my garage and I get in the car and press the brake pedal without the engine running all is well. As soon as I start the engine while the brake pedal is pushed I feel the pedal sinking a bit. The next th...

Hi redbaron and tigermany, many thanks for your reactions! The master cylinder is installed new in oktober 1995 so it is nearly 18 years old. I bought the car from Brian Postle and he used for the brake sytem silicone brake fluid and for the clutch system normal mineral fluid. I haven't changed that...

Hi alpine5gt, Why are you reacting the way you do? That I don't understand immediately what you are trying to explain doesn't mean automatically that I ignore your comment. I do really appreciate that you are trying to help me. I am not a technician, but I want to understand the logics of what is be...

Hi alpine5gt, Thanks for your reaction! I am a little amazed about what you wrote about silicone brake fluid. I have it now for 18 years in the Tiger and it is in this car for 21 years. I never had any problem with it and the reason of using silicone brake fluid is that it doesn't attract moisture w...

Hi meadowhog, Thanks again for the information! I had checked the rear brakes by taking of the drums, but I did not lift the rubber boots on the rear cylinders. I will do that now. For the record: the brake pedal did not feel spongy but was lower than normal and by puming the pedal one more time it ...

Hi Mal, thanks for your reaction. I have a Lockheed servo which is installed about 20 years ago. I also do use silicone brake fluid. I have been thinking too about air in the system, but how is it possible that air has entered the brake system? I have checked the whole system on leakage of brake flu...

Hi, Up til now I did not have to fill up brake fluid, but the level in the reservoir is a little bit lower than usual. The problem just began a few days ago. So it seems that I am losing brake fluid, but it goes very slowly. I have checked the adjustment of the rear brakes and everything seemed okay...
