Re: brake light wiring
I'd have a look at some period magazine articles. I think you have to accept that components like this were sometimes not fitted very neatly at the factory and originally looked like a bit of an afterthought.JohnnyBeckett wrote:HI i know you are thinking he must be thick asking how to run the wiring for the brake switch but i am looking for a neat way of running it around the frame so it dose not stick out like a sore thumb like it is now

Re: brake light wiring
I've googled '1954 Ariel red hunter' and you can see several modern shots of bikes and their brake light wires - unfortunately, all the period shots I can find are from the wrong side...
