Hoping to tap into the knowledge here again... I'm getting a '72 350 back on the road, I have the bike together and it fired up for the first time this evening so getting closer to being ready - one of the things that was missing when I bought it was the front brake light switch.
I installed one last week, and after i put the brake lever on, the switch plunger got jammed in the housing. I figured I screwed that one up and didnt get the switch fully seated in the brake lever perch before putting the lever on and ordered another one. This time, I made sure the switch was as seated as it could be in the perch, tapped it in with a 5.5mm socket & rubber mallet and it all looked good.... until I go to put the brake lever on, and same thing happened. What in the hell am I doing wrong? This time, the plunger looks like its still moving inside the switch housing, so I am hoping I can fish it back out and this one isnt toast. Did I still not get it seated in the perch enough?
