where did you get the switch from and is it waterproof, is it a momentry switch or latching?

Off eBay. Its momentary but not waterproof. I just made sure the terminals had dielectric grease applied and covered with heat shrink. From what I understand, none of the buttons are waterproof.

I have a small micro switch just taped to my clutch cable which powers off our intercom, we prefer the autocom to be on open mike , that is until the yaking gets too much. Wanted to fit a proper switch, ive ordered a small yellow one off fleabay and will just position it facing down or at least backwards to protect ingress, but in the housing like what you did!

 Just be careful with the location. You want to leave enough room in the casing so that's its not obstructed on any side. See my pics for info.

there is zip room in there , just had a look, on my model i already have the cycle switch so its fairly full, looks like i will have to make another shiney bracket to go with my other shiney brackets

I did purchase one of these but never got around to fitting it.

clever idea , although dont think its for me, i tend to use some thin plate aluminium and knock up a bracket that i attach to a bolt somewhere

Well done Kwikasfuki, I have just spent as happy few hours doing this mod. It is one of those things that has bugged me since day one, and now it is fixed.

Great tip, very worth wile doing,

Thanks for your time and effort putting this on here!

got mine a few days ago, havent tried in real earnest yet.... but had a coupla qucik goes to undo the bolt and it wouldnt shift!!

I am (unlike me) gonna be ultra prepared and cover tank so that when the bolt finally gives the wrench dont fly into the tank and damage it!!!
