Use terminal doublers (forget the proper name) -- single female to double male Fast-On spade connector. That will work in the old fuse box anyway. On the new one you may have to use the little kluge connectors that plug in alongside the fuse (and probably stretch the socket). Or scrutinize Bentley for spare connections, there are actually quite a lot of them; you might get lucky. >Also, I might need TWO diodes, 1 for every parking light. Any single >connection point solution? Definitely two diodes, one for each side. Or two buzzers with included diodes. That saves you the trouble of protecting the diodes as they're nicely housed inside the little gray box. d -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
