By the way, there is a new addition to the Cassette replacement cable method. I think someone else on the site mentioned it. Sorry, Not sure who. You have to get a Double Pole, Double Throw switch. On one switch, you have the wires that power the radio, just like my original design. On the other switch, on the OPPOSITE contacts, you connect the ground wire from the AUX, and a feed to the ground lug of the 8 pin DIN connector. This eliminates the loading effect that the MP3 device has to the radio audio level. There is still a minor amount of MP3 noise bleed from the effect of the stereo differential, but almost negligible. Ideally what we need is a 5 pole, double throw switch. One pole for radio on/off Opposite side throw for.. One pole for Aux ground One pole for Aux Left One pole for Aux Right I made a cable for Paul. See attached picture. If anyone else is interested, drop me a line and I'll make some up. At the moment, I don't have any spare connectors. I'll have to go to the wholesaler and get a new supply. The 8 pin DIN connectors are not easy to find. I'll have to see if I can find a 5 pole switch, though that would likely be an expensive switch.

The problem is usually related to the clutch switch. Sometimes I have to intentionally push the clutch out and take up the slack. It was giving me problems yesterday as well. I put a bit of silicone in the switch slider, and now it's OK again.

Hi Brad. Seems like a great invention. I guess the relieve valve only works when the bleed screw is loosened up a bit. So what part number(s) did you use? Sort of looks like SB8125L is the default version. Or maybe SB7100 for rear? I didn't see any Ventures identified. Same for 1st gen brakes and clutch? Are they any longer, and do they fit in the clutch area OK? Listing for an Excelsior Henderson. Haven't seen one of those for a long time... Maybe I'm thinking about a Brough Superior.... John.
