Hello from Wales .....Wisconsin, USA that. Is. After 40 years on a wish list I have become the owner of a 98 +8. I feel initiated after learning how to replace a brake light switch and even to keep a spare on hand. I love to hear the chatter from all you TMers.
This forum is a great source for new and or wantabees Morgan owners. Thanks for the invite.

Welcome to TM, and well done on replacing the stop light switch. There was a big batch of switches that MMC were using that appeared to be faulty, but the newer ones do appear to be better and longer lived.

If you want a belt and braces job you have install a relay across the contacts, this reduces the current passed across the switch and thus preserves the contacts.

BTW Nice car, I assume that this is a North American Spec car? Does it have the stainless steel inner wing valences and bulkhead?
