Getting Restoration Bren carrier MK2

[Israel Berko]

I have this switch the letters listed not exactly like in the book anyone know how to connect or what each pin and pin and where connects?
Anyone have a schema?

Hi Israel, does this help? It is early British Carrier.

[Israel Berko]

Thanks Lynn, I need exactly the pins that the switch connects in each and every position for example B and T and so on

If you connect a live feed to B or the equivalent terminal in the center, and then with a test lamp on each terminal as you rotate the switch, it should be quite simple to determine which terminal does what.
B = Battery
T = Tail lamp
S&T = Side and Tail together
All = Headlamp, side and tail.

It uses an earth return system via the "bus" bar. As you will notice the battery is positive earth (which you can change if you wish) (I run 12 volt negative earth in my carrier)
I have put a remote solenoid down by the battery to avoid running battery cables to and from the start button.

That's what I have done too Lynn. 12V neg earth with a solenoid near the battery, and a 12V starter motor. An auto electrician friend made up some resistors for the 6V gauges, although I've never had a working fuel gauge for some reason......Something to look into one day. Ron

Ron, my fuel gauge is one hundred percent reliable. Early carriers had a "dipstick"
I did buy resistors for my other 3 Ford electric gauges from Macs autos, Stateside. (my carrier came out with a Ford commercial cluster like the Australian LP2)
