western Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 There isn't anything on 1987 door, certainly wasn't on my 1989 110's doors, the light switches were never fitted. But the wiring is in the loom which goes down the far left & right rear corner of engine bay to the door pillar & the the switches can be fitted. then you need a plate similar to that shown above to operate the switches.

Chambo110 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Great picture much appreciated ralph, you are correct, I don’t have anything like the pic on my doors. I did purchase new doors a few years ago, well not new but not far off. So I’m guessing my originals had the tabs but these ones definitely don’t. Looks like I need to knock something up cheers chaps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Years ago a mate welded this folded 3mm folded strip to both front doors so I could have the door operated switches, hope it's useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 My doors are genuine and came from an early vehicle of they type with “push button” doors. There is no reason to think yours aren’t genuine or original. I bonded a piece of aluminium extruded angle to the bottom of the cotter pin bracket to mimic the later bracket (as shown in the red door). You have to drill a hole for the cotter pin in the angle piece, and PU adhesive is quite sufficient to h9ld it in place (it has lasted twenty years on mine so far).

Snagger Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don’t, but it looks very similar to the image of the red painted door. The bottom part of the bracket just has a double thickness, one half the original bracket flange and the other half the horizontal part of the piece of angle, with the adhesive binding the faces together. I was already missing the cotter pins, so had to use a nut and bolt - you may have to do so too if the thickness of the angle underneath the existing bracket hides the split pin hole in the cotter pin. Don’t over-think it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambo110 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Seems straight forward enough. my switches look to be higher than Ralph’s. Pretty sure from memory that the pin goes straight through the gap under the pin between the door card. Ralphs folded piece looks too low for mine. But I get what you’re saying ref the rest. Split pins are missing anyway so I’ll probably just but n bolt it cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
