but for today...14/7/99...the long awaited front break light switch arrived...and to be honest...this has been a right royal pain in the arse...the new switch has the same fault as the old switch...in that it works when it wants to...

what is this I see???...a brake light that works...let's hope it works in the morning...when it goes in for an MOT...I know my luck...it's red...and I don't have much luck with red scooters...

just got back from the bike shop...the brake light still works...it now has a MOT...the bits have arrived from Watsonian/Squire...got it all laid out...lets get cracking...

this little job took over two hours...why???...because not one of the holes lined up...plus the holes in the strengthening plates weren't in line either...which is hard to understand as the cosa had had a sidecar fitted to it before...this ain't as easy as fitting one to a PX...the bracket anyway...I think this is about the point where you want to get a sledge hammer to it...not the bracket...the whole scooter...
