Ah ha, brilliant, thank you

Hello I need to get this cylinder out. I've got the push rod off, but it seems to me i need to take off the whole box surrounding both brake and clutch cylinders, in order to get at the lower bolt holding the cylinder on to the box. Is this right or is there something i am missing? Cheers Dave

Hi It was new, but it did have something in there when i first fitted it, but coming to fit the knob sometime later it had disappeared. So either it broke and fell out, or it was a screw and came undone. I had done a lot of testing without the knob on, as i rewired all the lights, so i think it was of my own doing. A good look around again later on. Dave

Hi It is a 3a, and the bit missing has come out of a new side/headlight switch. . Bit annoying. I can rig something up, but i did wonder how they were springy. Bobs pic shows how. Dave

The little bit on a switch spindle, seems springy, that holds a knobs in place. I'm missing one. How are they held in? Can i get another? Cheers Dave

To finish off: cleaned, lubricated and rewired switch, and replaced wiring connections (one old one was insulated with making tape), and all now working with a satisfying clunk somewhere under the tunnel. Thanks all for your help. Dave

Thanks

With reference to the first post.. 'A man of wealth and taste.' Dave

Thank you Bob. Mine looks like the original. I'm still unclear how the wires attach. Are they poked up into rhe hole and then the screws applied from the top? Dave

Thank you Bob

I can't find a pic either. Must be some sort of fitting i am missing. Thanks for your help Rob.

It looks exactly like that. What's underneath the switch though? Dave

After a bit of fiddling I discovered the pointy screws don't go all the way through the switch, they stop a few mil short, no contact made with wires or insulation. I must be missing something - a connecting piece or a fitting of some sort. Does anyone know what should be in there? Cheers Dave

Hi Rob Are the wires supposed to be bare-ended or should the pointy screw go through the insulation, do you know? Dave ====
