my deceased 360 had the mounts for 4 x 6 speakers in the rear pillar, with a reducer plate for 4" diameter ones. I was gonna swap them into the new one, which didnt have them, but i got 6x9's in there now (just). Got an Alpine TypeR going in before the end of the week, i promise i wont use it till xmas thou sm63

God knows how the lovely Vicki got on a topic about dumped cars but still, I think as long as Petavius and maltatude dont have any objection we should make Vicki (as ancient as she is ) the official V3M pin up (He says knees slightly bent and rubbing his hands up and down the front of his thighs in a Vic Reeves sort of way ) Then we could invite her to officially open the next V3M meet at Easter I'm sure you would agree it would be worth paying her attendance fee (can't be much more than £ 3.50 )

HAHA! That's the spirit :)

Although it's highly unlikely to happen....I mean there's only one car she'll be going home in when she sees my range of original accessories....ah....good point...

Yeah, but it'd be fun ;-)

This is true...I think I will be tracking down fogs after all!
Are the pins on the back the same too? I've never noticed, but I'd be a bit surprised...

Hugh/James, the pins are different, 7 actual pins on the hazard switch, plus 2 spade connectors for the bulb, and 4 spade pins/connectors on the foglight switch.
Hazards on left, bulb and connectors missing at bottom. Right Fog lights.

I thought they might be different. 240s share the same switches, so there's quite a standard parts-bin to play with!

Haha, in the UK, just because a car isn't taxed or insured doesn't mean that it's abandoned. Many people seem to drive 'em, and a fair few of those don't even have licences.
