  3. When you start on your neutral switch, presuming it's not faulty, as it's very awkward to remove you don't want to be taking it out too often, first undo it by half a turn at a time to see if it needs a thicker washer, if that doesn't work its probably a thinner one that's needed. The difference in washer is very small.

  4. I did have a look a few months ago, all i did was loosen it about half a turn and the light went out and just retightened it, i found when riding it the light wasn't on all the time as it usually was but still comes on, i am thinking of getting a new switch but will take the old one out first and have a look.
     
  5. Switches aren't cheap, sounds like you might need a slightly thicker washer, good luck.

  7. Just fitted a chain slider and the lower one is on order, what a difference a new one makes.

  10. Are you going to plate your bolts this winter? Makes a massive difference.
     
  11. Ive seen your bolts and they are spot on, its something that i thought about but and should do, i have a platters about 5 mins from were i live so no excuse, i used them when i rebuilt this a couple of years ago.
