the part im after isnt the actual switch that sits on top of the headlight, its the mechanism inside the cowling, im told that SOME bsa's have the same deal, i dunno, but like i said before, im getting sick to death of the postie!Though i must admit posties go and go and go!

Wipac SO782 is the Pt number for a complete ignition switch and SO781 is the lighting switch. Both type of switches are used in BSA Bantams etc. Try veiwing www.norba02.freeuk.com/goffylighting.htm
