I've just fitted this to my 66 SX and it works a treat. Just wondered if anyone else had problems with fitting. The unit seems small enough to sit within the lens and so when you screw the lens in it doesn't hold the unit against the frame. The first time I did it the unit fell forward and ended up at an angle inside the lens. I eventually used some sealant to hold it in place but I worry that vibration will end up shaking it loose. Anyone else had this experience and found a solution?

Thanks

John

I got a similar unit on my GP, I just drilled thru it and attached with a couple of self tappers and passed the wires thru the original bulb holder hole

Thanks Toddy just re-read my post and even I struggled to understand the broken English ! Must check my typing in the future !
Thanks for the reply, one of the lads on the Bristol Lambretta club said his was red and I thought that was a little odd.
