I have one in my draw of bits I'm my tool box, it's from a car alarm.

It is load and I was going to use that on mine when it's done. Will use the wiring diagram from the handbook to wire it in.

I'll be getting a 12v one for my c5 hopefully

Post by: Lancealot on 08, January, 2013 - 20:42:01

Hi Luke the one I have works from a voltage of 3v all the way to 24v. I tested it using standard 12v.

They are from Maplins FK84 @ £3.59 each.

Here is a photo of the original fitted in the C5 and the one from Maplins.

What have you done about the microswitch though? Have you managed to find a way to operate it from the handlebars? I've always wondered if there's a way to do that... Like if the power button to turn the motor on broke!

Yes we are using the micro-switch on the handlebars. My dad made a bracket for it so it could mount on the handlebars  ;) ;)
