Did some tail light wiring today. Replaced a few bullet connectors and made an extension. Found out my tail light bulb seat was 180 degrees off causing brake light to illuminate when the lights are turned on. Fixed this.
See first image below. For those that don't know, the seat of the bulb can be installed 180 degrees off though when looking at it, the tabs are different sizes. 

Where do you guys get your bullet connectors at? These came from cycle terminal . They are high quality connectors. Always looking for good resources.

Well done.

For terminals etc, from the US I've used Vintage Connections. In the UK, Kojaycat for specialised items and a couple of fleabay sellers for common parts.

DEET in the US sells great silver/grey replacement sheathing, and here in the UK I get the black stuff from Yambits, although the colour isn't quite right.

Those locating bits are a different width so you can't fit them half a turn out. Did you manage to fit it wrong as in theory shouldn't be possible.

The KDI Repro Foot pegs fit perfectly. They were 2mm smaller diameter but went on tight without stretching w/water to lube the pegs for install.

EvapoRust before and after. Did a great job on the brake lever arm. I've tested it on some other very rusted parts and may post up later.

Disclaimer for RT325: bolt in arm is not the one I used.
