SWF dual switch


With the new rear foglight I had to think of a solution for another switch.
I had seen a pretty cool solution in a well known us 53 oval.
It looks like 2 semaphore switches sitting on the steering column, with the right one controlling the foglighs/driving lights.
This is a pretty rare accessory so I decided to make my own.
It´s now with a lighted semaphore switch on the left, and a normal semaphore switch on the right, if you move it up it turns on the front foglights and down it turns on the rear one.

Suitcases




I just bought myself another set of the original vw luggage.
I really like these in the ivory color, but I have the same problem as with my old set - the front suitcase doesn´t fit in a pre 55 car with the big gastank.
Do anybody know if there is such a suitcase made?

Now I just need to decide which set to keep.

Still winter?!


I thought the spring was just around the corner, but this week we had again.
And last night the temperature went down -10 c......
Never the less I took the oval outside today it´s almost ready for the spring now, and today lesson was diagonal tyres doesn´t have much grip in snow :-)

Rear foglight


Last year when we visited the great Budel show in Holland, was I lucky enough to find another Happich bumberguard/light bracket, and even better it was for the right rear side or left front side.
I decided to make a little safety feature for those long drives on the german autobahn at night.
It´s not always that people see those little 6volt bulbs when they are driving 200km/h +......

So this little foglight can now be turned on when I feel it´s necessary.
