John/Mario;

Thanks for the plug...actually the instructions at that link only cover adding (back) the headlight flasher (only) option which was not installed in US delivery vehicles. I would definately agree, this would be the perfect time for Mario to do the full upgrade to a 140 style control, by replacing the flacky foot dipper switch with a (bistable) relay from the 140s. This eliminate the problem, plus give BOTH headlight signaling (when lights are OFF) AND low/highbeam control (when headlights are ON).

If Mario just wants to replace the footswitch, with their good track record, I would just install a used one after lubing the mechanism well (I believe failure is probably, more often than not, due to corrosion from moisture in the footwell).

I believe Cameron put together the full instructions for this in the latest IPD flier.

Cheers
