Hi all,
I've treated my Mk3 to new RH switchgear from Sparx, to overcome various issues with the original. They advertise 'correct wires', but they come with bullets rather than the more modern-looking block connectors on the bike. Does anyone sell the blocks and connectors to allow me to do a proper job?

Cheers, Jon

"AMP" pin connectors, available from Tri-Cor England (Sparx). http://www.tri-corengland.com/acatalog/ ... ctors.html

MES also used to sell them, I don't know if they still do? http://www.motorcyclewebsite.com/motorc ... l-services

(Edit: The connector spring clips are Norton part 06-6139)

Len,
Whilst we're on this subject, do you know if the harness ones are available? I replaced the whole harness on my MK3 and the new harness uses the rectangular ones al la Sparx but the original harness on my second bike has slightly different ones with a triangulation at one end.

I believe so, although I think those connectors are obsolete, both sections of the MkIII harness I've seen for sale recently still have the original style connectors, so MES in the UK, or British Wiring in the US could have them?

the new 2014 / 2015 production Lucas looms for BSA Triumph are excellent quality properly insulated terminals and cloth braided

Hopefully they will consider re manufacture the Norton Looms with the correct switch connectors

The original white plastic MKIII connecters gave me much trouble, I cut them off and soldered the wires together . IMHO Really cheap connectors for a MC.
