Martin (Just Lambretta) was out of stock when I wanted one, so I got one second hand on ebay. If you pm me your e-mail I can send you details of how the switch makes its connections :)

Cheers,

Don't get an Indian one from anywhere. I once had a CASA one that was faulty, I like the Scootrs Honda ones, I've also one of their newer ones but haven't tried it yet.

Ok i'm back again!
I got a honda switch to put in and it's a lot more straight forward than i thought.
However, the body of the switch is square and of course the inside of the headst it curved.
Which means that the switch doesn't fit inside the hole properly. There is a small keyway on the aperture for the switch which lines up with a groove on the switch but this means that in this position a square corner of the switch points down into the headset and doesn't sit in fully. The screw threads on the barrel don't stick out enough to fit the escutcheon plate on.
FFS are none of these jobs easy!! :wtf:

So, any other offers on how to actually fit it in place.

Cheers.
