Hi all,I'm doing a 12v full dc conversion on my series 1,and have a fuel gauge mounted in the legshield toolbox.
This is going to be permanently 'live' and will drain the battery when the scooter is not in use unless I put an 'isolator' switch on the battery output lead.
I seem to remember that one of the standard ignition switches will do this if fitted correctly,but I can't remember what model it's from......any ideas?
And also any tips on wiring it in would be great,.....thanks in advance....Kev
12v dc ignition switch
Original TV2 & 3, 4 pole switch (& early 6 pole) had extra wire(s) to provide a live out from the 1st key position onwards.
The cheapest way is to use an Indian ignition switch designed for the 6/12v system and use the pilot light feed which is live in positions 2 & 3.

Fab stuff,Cam Lam do a replica,so looks like I'm sorted If that's the scooterotica made one, I'd check with them that it is suitable, as it doesn't have the white wire of TV2's, that is the live in position one onward.
That should have said scootopia. Bloody auto correct!
