ok so I took the flasher relay out cleaned the points contacts and it still does same thing. Makes one click sound when right turn on column lever and nothing to the left.
So ive decided 100$ for a guess isn’t in my game plan.
I want to wire turn signals like I did for my Baja bug. I used an aftermarket column lever but I should be able to…[Read more]

Bill replied to the topic Flasher relay test? Lucas 33117 in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 7 months ago
Well I took it off pulled cover and sanded the contacts to clean them up. Not sure if they’re bad or what. One of the long reeds is bent like it was overheated and linked or bent it a little. Tried to make all of them straight and clean
sure is a huge pita to install this thing to see if it works 😂
Pics on phone can’t get to attach

That’s pretty funny. The Classic Roadsters Ltd. assembly manual recommended filling the box with sand. You end up with about 150 pounds. I cannot guess what that weighed with railroad tie plates!

My blinkers don’t work about every other year. It’s my reminder to go clean and re-do the ground connections.

Have you removed the cover and checked the solenoids? Make sure they’re clean. With the cover off you should see if the solenoids are working or not.
Tons of info if you google “Lucas 33117” including replacing with newer style relays.

edward ericson replied to the topic U-joints in the steering shaft? in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 8 months ago
You should be able to line everything up by loosening the steering box mounting bolts and clocking it slightly. As I recall, there is a “stop” of some sort on the beam or mounting frame that should have (probably had to be!) been cut off during the kit’s assembly, allowing the steering box to spin more fully on the top tube. That’s what makes it…[Read more]

A word on “clips” being on your clutch cable:
Nearly all these cars all use a shortened clutch cable, owing to the pedal set having been moved rearward a foot or 14 inches. On my car, the PO made a loop in the cable over the transaxle and then clamped that with a U-shaped cable clamp. It worked perfectly well like that for probably 25…[Read more]

Eric Fowler replied to the topic Shift bushing change?? in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 8 months ago
Here’s a link to a thread on TheSamba with lots of good info. The one thing people forget to mention is the clutch mechanism has slack in it, but the clutch cable arm is pre-loaded with a spring. Take up the slack when measuring by using pliers to turn the clutch cable arm CCW until you encounter stiff resistance.

Local shops for what? Parts I hope.
Clutch pp and bearing kit ain’t bad thru Sachs
Cable is easy as long as no one bogered up the tube Easy peazy

Michael Junge replied to the topic Shift bushing change?? in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 8 months ago
You should have about 1/2″ of light pedal travel before you feel heavier resistance as the throwout bearing engages
This is my next step – sorting out how tight to make the clutch cable. I already know it should be replaced down the line – it has a repair with a couple of wire clips.
Anyway…looking to see it I can tighten the clutch cable muc…[Read more]
