Title: random switch question
Post by: Gareth on 22 July 2011, 19:18
bit of a random one but does any one know if this will fit along side the other switches on the mk2 dash?

Why?

You have no ABS and you already have a handbrake light.

Well, now that you've made that clear.  :grin:

Do you have the wiring loom and sensor from the B3? Or is the switch just for scene points?

Yeah i have used the full abs loom, Ecu, abs rings, sensors and pump it's all in and fully working :) the abs light unit that was in the b3 would not fit the dash with out modifying and I don't really want to start hacking at it

Well without having the dimensions of the switch it seems that if it it too small to fit the Golf switch hole, I suggest you cut a hole in a golf switch blank and fabricate a frame for the ABS switch. Or get a flat piece of black perspex and do as above for a flush fitting switch. The switch blanks are cheap enough to have a go until it looks right.
