Chicken switch early t25

[adrian1975]

Hi all, I thought I would start a thread asking for help in installing a chicken switch in a 25 with torpedo fuses it's a 1984 bus, I know itchys method will not work on an earlier, bus
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

When I put one in my van about 10 years ago I got a standard dash switch for a heated rear screen and fitted it using some piggy back connectors at the radiator switch (fitted in original rubber boot) and some 2 core cable (so double insulated too). Super simple and all looks original with no need to drill dash etc. If I remember correctly I had to fit an earth to make the warning light on the switch work.
Basically by doing it this way all you are really doing is bridging the switch from inside the cab if you need to.
