Hello Rick, Thanks for that. Although they list the rotary switches I'm after (Cole Hersee 72153-02 and 72154-02) they're actually obsolete and not available. Unless someone happens to have a couple on a shelf somewhere, I'm out of luck. As it turns out, I've had to buy rocker switches to use...

Thanks Jack, I have tried them, but the website doesn't have a listing for the switches I'm after.

Hello there, Thanks for the comments. Yes, I can stiffen up the clip as required. In my case (not typical, I think?), my clip retains a cross brace at the front, so will be quite strong anyway (refer image), even with the larger opening. Yes, air in and engine heat out. I’ve given a lot...

Hello again, I now have the information I'm after on these switches. I'm after Cole Hersee rotary switches 72153-02 and 72154-02 Unfortunately, one is now obsolete (why are rotary switches now an endangered species?) and the other is only available in packs of 80. I may be tilting at...

I think that will be OK.

Hello there, I know it’s not the “standard”, but does anyone have images of a GT40 which has had the flat area of the engine cover under the rear window opened right up to showcase the engine? I’m thinking of doing this to mine. A bit more like the MkIV(?) I believe. Bit of a shame to...

Hello Jim, Yes, I have some CH switches on my boat. As it turns out, after the local supplier couldn't help, I went to the Australian distributor direct. They didn't even have most of the switches listed, didn't have any details anyway and suggested I go direct to the states! Amazing...

Thanks for that, Howard. That gives give me someone to order from. In addition, Littelfuse have now answered my email with some technical information which has enabled me to check and choose which switches I need. Thanks again and Cheers, Lance

Hello there, Can anybody help me with this, please? I'm after an email address or phone number of someone that I can contact to get some information on Cole Hersee rotary switches, so that I can buy a couple for my car. There's no help from the distributors in Oz and no reply from the states...

As requested, and a recent view.

The two points raised earlier by David are quite correct for a DRB also. The rear exhaust pipes / chassis have to be considered carefully and exhaust routed to suit. The oil filter will clash and so should be remote mounted. Note that the Soarer filter is engine mounted, but the Toyota Crown...

This is what I've done. I wanted air that is as cool as possible going through the oil cooler, so mounted it forward in the engine bay. A combination of aluminium shrouding around the oil cooler and fibreglass shrouding on the rear clip, that seals off the area when closed, means that only...

After a few unfortunate delays and rework, it's getting closer now. Lance

This thread has come at a convenient time as I'm looking at this issue just now. For reasons of space, redundancy and just to be different, I'm using two batteries wired in parallel. From the discussions, it seems that two Odyssey PC680's should be more than enough for the same weight as a...

Maybe not in the "Infidel" category, but sports bikes nonetheless. I gave away two CB750s last year, but I've owned my 74 850 Commando for 31 years now. The supercharged 920 Commando engine in the wideline featherbed frame is my current project bike. Cheers, Lance

Pete, If you're into curries, when I go through Singapore, I always try to get to Sami's on Dempsey Road. Fish head curry a favourite. It's set back off the road on a low hill. Apparently, the building used to be the officer's club in colonial days. On one occasion, they stayed open to serve...

I haven't had the engine fired up yet, so can't say what it sounds like with the crosovers. I should be able to let you know in a few weeks time. Lance

What can I say? I've already voted! I'm hoping to fire the big girl up in a few weeks.

Hello Dalton, No, my car isn't finished off yet. This year has been a bit of a disaster as far as getting (relatively minor) engine and gearbox work done. The few jobs took ages and snowballed into fixing other work that hadn't been done correctly. That's just about finished now and I should...

Come on, Pete, make my year! There must be something you can tell me! I've been hanging out for the final nail in the coffin of this debacle of a government for ages now. Bob Brown...............oops, I mean Julia Gillard must be the worst prime minister Australia has ever had. Please don't...
