    Hi all, am new to this site and this is my 1st bus its a 1973 devon moonraker and we are in the processs of cutting all the rust out, all the usual places will put some photos up soon.
    Im trying to figure out what these 2 small electrical units are that have been added to the rear quarters by the rear tailgate there is 1 either side and have 2 wires to each. The units can be seen from the outside through the air grills at the rear quarters.
    Im hoping the photo has uploaded if not perhaps somebody can guide me through it
    thanks john

    Yes you can through the grill they are screwed in from the outside the inner panel has been cut out so they must be an aftermarket item

    iv not followed them through yet but they run down the rear quarter panel,need to get under van to follow them through
     
  13. Surely looking at the other side would resolve this issue?

    It all makes sense now :). Had it all back to front in my head!

    No idea what they are, maybe some joker wanted lights flashing inside the grills.
