Lightforce Lamp Fix

[Hurlock 114]

Lads ive got a blitz and lance here that need a bit of attention.

 

I've already replaced the cig lighter fuse and curly wire with a lawnmower fuse and heavy duty cable few year back but now they're playing up.

 

Now think they need re-soldering. Anyone done this? I need to check behind the switch and bulb housing but can't get in there to check them.

 

Anyone able to talk a novice through?

 

Cheers

I've had mine fix a few times with the cable breaking. Always goes at the wrong time. My missus was going to get me the blitz hid but I need a verible one and they don't do it that, but I do fancy the new enforcer 240. As any used that yet?

I seem to remember a thread a while back where Paulus explained how to drill out rivets and rewire.

Anyone able to find that thread lads? Or Paulus can you mate?

the wiring is a pain in the arse. first thing i do with my new lamp is strip it apart and rewire it. i do away with the switch as switches can play up when wet or covered in blood. ive got my lamp set up so has i touch 2 wires together on the back of it much better job altogether imo.

 

ive never needed to replace the wiring upto the bulb though. i always poke plenty of wire back up into the handle and put a small cable tie round the wire and a good amount of electrical tape round that just to stop it pulling back through and breaking the remainder of the original wiring in the handle.
