[QUOTE="deanbw, post: 173599, member: 4220"] Time for another one of my rambling posts. I had the temp switch go out on the bike and was able to get it home before it boiled all the water out. I thought about buying a stock switch but then thought someday they may not be available so, I got the Duralast SW648 switch and went to wrecking yard to get plug for switch. I also wanted to have a manual switch to over-ride temp switch if needed. I didn't want to butcher the stock harness so I came up with cutting the original switch apart, adding two wires for manual operation and the stock plug for the sw648 switch (fits Geo, Chevy, lincoln...lots of cars). I wanted it waterproof so I made a mold to seal wire connection.Here are some pics of the project. switch and plug [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_201457_001.jpg"]13405._xfImport[/ATTACH] cut stock plug open [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_201243.jpg"]13406._xfImport[/ATTACH] used screws and plates(cut tabs off the one) for clamping wire ends [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_201357.jpg"]13407._xfImport[/ATTACH] added wires for manual switch [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_210629.jpg"]13408._xfImport[/ATTACH] assembled on switch [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_211513.jpg"]13409._xfImport[/ATTACH] UHMW to make mold [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_215000.jpg"]13410._xfImport[/ATTACH] mold fit and filled [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160514_223425.jpg"]13411._xfImport[/ATTACH] molded part [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160515_102259.jpg"]13412._xfImport[/ATTACH] rest of pics in next post, I told you it was rambling.....
