the missus' is away so...

Had another go at this ignition bracket
Added sides for strength and its going to bolt under the seat pan
I should have taken a pic when I tigged it up with 2.4 rod (all I had) to give you a laugh, looked like it had a contageous disease, amazing what you can do with a bench grinder - haha.
Breaker bracket
To be bolted under the seatpan opposite the ignition switch
I made this from some stainless with the idea of tacking the breaker clips to the bracket. They came with pop rivets but didn't fit my gun and messed up the reverse show side. Blew a hole in the clip on first try and then got some stainless rod and it didnt want to know. Fuck knows what the clips are made of, got a shiny gold finish (tin?) the bracket is brushed stainless. So another idea is to velcro them as I found they don't need to be earthed. Anyone?

no they aren't earthed... how about rivetting them to a small plate and then tacking the plate on to the bracket

thanks rowan, another suggestion was araldite!

think vibration might get at araldite... you could always re-locate them hidden down under the gearbox then the bracket aint gotta look pretty... ask "flatiron mike" on TVS to see his... he did a real nice job on that and the battery on his V2 mule

The TIG welding results look good even if you did need to tidy it up with the grinder.
