Tail light circuit boards wanted

Postby Deloreanyorkshire » Tue Jun 25, 2013 8:34 pm

Due to always having problems with my rear lights I have decided to bite the bullet and purchase some new boards. Having read a few threads some people mention an "updated" version of the boards.

Can any one point or guide me in the right direction to getting hold of these.

Thanks
Mike

lol no. I read somewhere (perhaps on that same thread) that some people are using LED bulbs in them too, which would help with reliability. Are your old ones definitely knackered. Even I managed to fix mine! (eventually) - usually just a case of squeezing all of the grounds on the board with a pair of pliers, and fiddling with the bulb holders a bit...?

I thought I'd fixed them once but still a bit dodgy. Just thought it would be easier to change rather than messing around. I better get some bought then :)

What seem's to be the problem with them?

I fixed mine by drilling the rivets out, cleaning up the board and the holders, and then replacing the rivets with a nut and bolt - that was over two years ago and still going strong.

If you don't fancy drilling them out, putting the board on a block and giving the rivets a belt with a drift and hammer will tighten them up - not sure on the longevity of that type of fix though.

Thanks for the comments mike.

Myself and another member attempted to clean them up but after a long ride they still seemed a bit tempremental. I'm not really any good at do it yourself so thought I would go for the easy option and buy some new ones.

Ordered from here weds and they came this morning - superb :thumbsup: that's what you call service :D
