no probs , will be down there later tonight, cant remember the name of the company, but will pick up their book tonight, and will post the details.
the switch is a standard rocker switch for a car {but weather proof}.
i am making a small dash board in between my seat and the dumby tank to take this switch and a couple of others.
the switch has a 2 inputs connectors on it, and 4 outputs. all i done was take a wire from the output on the flasher relay to 1 of the inputs, loop a wire to the 2nd input, and feed wires from 1 output on either side of the switch into either side of the flasher wiring.
there is no connection between either side of the outputs in the switch , thus when you put on your flashers during normal use , only one side will flash , not all four as happened on my first attempt to fit hazards :rolleyes:
i have used a transit flasher relay on mine, and the flash is at the normal speed when hazards are deployed, but if you are using a bike flasher relay, you might find that it will work all 4 at once, but the flash will be very fast.
if you have the room , you could always fit a second flasher unit , but i would say, just fit one from a scrap car or van from the breakers, if its from a van , make sure its not been converted to 24 volts.{but thats another story}.
transit ones are good because they only have 3 terminals, live in, live out and earth. where as some have more terminals and are not clearly marked.
ok the switch. this might seem a little strange, but, it comes in 5 pieces.
the main body, the rocker,which has a window for a clear cover and the sign ,ie the hazard sign, and a bulb to fit into the switch as a warning.
but talk to the guys at this place they are helpful and will talk you through it when you tell them what you want.
hope this is clear. as it is unusual for me to put anything useful on a chat form :D
just contact me if you need anymore imfo.
will post the company's details later tonight.

ok the company is

the main body of the switch i got was . ref no 78023 .
then ask them about the other 4 parts for the switch, you might want to ask for a cataulog first, this they are happy to send you without an order . they have almost anything you could want electrical for vehicles, and at a good price. but there is vat and carriage on the prices.

hope this helps you lads.
