Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

can someone tell me which is the best way to run the wiring from the brake light switch on a 1954 350 NH with a swinging arm the switch is the one that is fitted from new that fits on a plate wear the rear brake cable adjuster is fitted their is no room to hide the wiring behind the switch and frame because of it is very near the swinging arm and chain guard

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

I'd help mate but I don't have a swingarm bike ..

HI John if it did not have a swinging-arm i can hide the wiring at the back of the frame thank you keep safe

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.

HI Simon thank you for the post but i can not find the brake light switch wiring i do not know were to look for it

Hi

Why not post a photo of your brake light switch and we can work from there?

Regards Mick

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...

HI Mick i have not workout how to do photos yet i am trying to get someone to do them for me the switch on the sanded one fitted wen the bike was new with swinging arm 1954

Do you want to email a picture to me Johnny? I'll post it on here for you.
