Ignition amp plug spring clip

[fieryfred]

Doh. Yes numptie springs to mind as did the ignition amp spring clip.
Used a screwdriver to lever it off & before i could say Jack Robinson it did a flying runner.
Cable tied the switch in place & moved the car for a good look. Well no luck.
Where can you buy a clip or is time to buy a 3 pin plug & steal the clip.
I might end up with a spare ignition amp & 3 to 2 adaptor.
Need the car next week so any ideas.

think they are known as junior timer connectors, readily available but difficult to 100% say if the clip will fit but should do.

Stupid question, what the size of the small bolts retaining the amp? I've tried a 6mm but it's too big.

I had to buy a 7/32 midget spanner (yes it was called that) for that job

Thanks a lot for the info, my imperial toolbox doesn't go so low

I just used a small metric socket, cant remember the size.
But when they are that small anglo saxon & metric are very close.
Mine where just finger tight.
Having a senior moment, whats the white paste called that came with the amp.
