Parking sensors now fitted to front of MH

[John Barrett]

I installed a set on our old Sprinter B640, and they were very handy in tight squeezes. I've been meaning to do this with E510 but rain stopped play for a bit. I installed these this morning, and I managed to route a wire up to the dashboard lighting panel and utilise one of the switch blanks to take a round switch I had just lying about. I tried to source a Fiat switch - 22mmx22mm cut out- but no luck so far.
They work fine but I might have to move the speaker into the dash as it is a little weak to my aging ears...
The sensor colour is from my Humbrol enamel tinlet stock: Iron Grey number 92 discontinued about 15 years ago!
I found a pair of airhorns deep under the bonnet. They weren't connected but I tried them and they sound fantastic. The necessary relay gets delivered tomorrow...

Local scrapyard may be breaking a Fiat \ Peugeot \ Citroen van? I got a pop-up dashboard panel off a Citroen for our Fiat base.
