Hi folks,

Long story short, one of the plastic nuts which holds my brake light switch to the bracket has broken. In for a penny, in for a pound, I thought I'd replace the whole unit as they're quite cheap and it wouldn't do any harm.

After a lengthy google search, looking for Ford and Vauxhall parts, it turns out the one fitted to my 2000 Chim 450 is from a Talbot Express / Fiat Ducato! Is this right?!! All the TVR parts suppliers I've looked at don't stock this part - has anyone else had the same complication? Should i replace it with a different part?

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks everyone. So it's likely to have been a botched speedy fix.

I must admit, it looked akwardly large when fitted and I did wonder how it had lasted so long. I'll order one of the "original" ones - hopefully it will fit ok.

Thanks for your help! beer
