MG MGA - Flash to pass switch schematic

Has anyone got a wiring schematic for the flash to pass switch...not for MGA set-up, as I'm using mainly MGB wiring with high torque starter motor (deletes the regulator).

Gary - All you need is single pole, normally open push switch wired in parallel with the dipper switch. You will need either a high current switch or a normal switch wired to a relay to handle the high current drawn by the headlights. Cheers - Dave
PS - You might check Barney's web site as there might be a drawing there to accomplish what you want to do.

I should have explained more...I have the Holden switch (#020.145), and a relay. No problem with the other wiring except on the original MGA set-up, the hot power to C1 (87) on the relay comes from the Control box (Regulator)...using the MGB with high torque starter there is no regulator, so where do I take the power source from?

Gary - "so where do I take the power source from?"
Any brown wire circuit if you want power available to the relay all the time, or from a white wire source if you just want power when the ignition is on. Cheers - Dave

I think you might have your electrical components mixed up
It would be the external solenoid that you wouldn't have with the high torque srarter
You could tap into the ignition switch wiring somewhere
