James Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's an idea for you all - co-driver controls.This will work on a Mk1 saloon that has SPDT switches - others would need a couple of relays (am going to draw that out)Basically you need another SPDT switch and some 3 core wire. 3 core wire needs 5 female spades and 1 male spade.

ferny Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm confuzzled. Why would you add extra switches for the co-driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It can get boring for the co-driver you know, Ferny! Probably on some Triumphs the wiper switch is very near the driver, so hard to reach from the passenger side.My wiper switch is actually in easier reach of the passenger anyway, and the screen wash switch is virtually on the passengers side! Thus on the '06 RBRR it was usually the co-driver who did the honours. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've always found that after xx number of hours in a car you gel with your co-driver - so much so you operate the lights/wipers and stuff for them.Stuff like main beam when you're on a charge is good - switching on and off to stop dazzling other cars.

James Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's an example for non SPDT switches.This actually works quite well if you want to replace delicate switches with relays too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Excellent! How about fitting pedals as well like in a driving instructor's car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 An interesting idea, Caroline. ;) I can see me now, stretching out to have a kip and accidentaly shoving my foot firmly on the brake and causing the car to come to a screeching halt! :P ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B. Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 On round denmark while I was co-driving we had an excellent cooperation getting the flashers to work. Driver activated the stalk, and I tapped the relay gently to get it going. Kept me awake!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Good idea Caroline - suggest you start the first RBRR mobile hotel (motel!?) with your estate...Charge per mile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 We'd have to hook up with Dave in his Atlas so he can cook the breakfasts on the go. RBRR for those who can't drive. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wouldn't work in my case, for some strange reason that I can't fathom my co-drivers always seem to have their hands over their eyes and are gibbering something like the Lord's prayer.........all very edifying an' that but means they don't know when to put the wipers on or dip the lights. ;DPS. Q: Does anyone know the proceedure for a forced landing in a single engined aircraft at night in the case of an engine failure?A: Descend to 500 feet, switch on landing light, if you REALLY don't like what you see, switch landing light off! :o ;D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
