Title: Ignition barrel Post by: hornet6 on May 14, 2018, 07:07:48 PM Hi. Is it possible to use any type of ignition switch, so long as it has the same amount of wires as the original. My diversion build uses 6 wires for the ignition on the loom. If I buy a standard diversion ignition, it comes with all the steering lock mechanism, which I don't really need. Or, I can buy an ignition switch for a kwaka ke 100 which has 6 wires, no lock on the bottom and is a third of the price. Is it a no brainer ?

My trike is us spec, and the switch had been replaced with a uk one, with the park mode wiring missing (even though the switch had a park position. It meant I had to wire the hazards (and because they were connected) the indicators available all the time. Took me a while to work out what was going on since the previous owner had bodged it...

The problem is, is I want to locate the ignition switch under the seat in a separate electrical container. So theres no need for the original one as its to big and cumbersome.
