Re: Sidelight/indicator earth

I would guess 'B' stands for Body e.g. as stated above, connection to 0V occurs when the lamp is screwed to the Body! Dave H. Guessing? Clearly electrical diagrams are not your forte.... B is for BLACK, the wiring colour for Earth Cables. The highlighted item 55 is the illustration for no cable con...

During my restoration (ongoing) of my Traveller, I converted to screw-on type oil filter. This leaves me with ...
