Monday, January 24, 2022 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Yet Another Nice Day

Around high 60s F.
Pretty empty at the pier area...



The parking lots next to the pier are nearly empty...



 

MGB Starter Button -- Replaced

The replacement switch (water proof).

Moving the wiring over...


The nut goes on first...

Then the rubber button cover also threads onto the switch.

There are six switches/displays in the center console.

Took a couple of pictures under the passenger side dash  lower area for reference.

Wiper motor.

The old starter switch.
The three thick washers (about 6 mm) were needed to space the switch back so it doesn't stick out too much.
The new switch doesn't need the spacers.

My guess is that water got into the switch through the push button area (can see some corrosion on the push button).
I'll take apart later to see if my theory is correct.

 

Small basic tool kit for CM to keep and use in her classroom


CM would prefer a small tool box/case.
I don't have a very small tool case or bag.
So, for now, just using a tool roll.
I'll replace the tool roll once I find the right box/bag.
