S.I.P Speedo Selector button fitting photos please

[Wee Mark]

Hello again
After a bit of drama with losing a beam and snapping earth off rim adjuster fixing I'm back now at the point where I got to run the wire and fit the little push button for the speedo to select the functions, anybody got a photos/s of a neat, practical solution of how to do this/where to fit.... please
thanks

On my series 2 I have brought the wire out through the headset clamp bolt hole and stuck the button below the horn button/ dip switch.

Works for me

Similar to the above pic, but I file a small slot in the switch housing for the wire to exit under the switch.

Thanks Guys
I have put it on like Steve has done but I think when I get a chance I will try to do what Wack has done, got it working really well now and great to have a working speedo for once, a total bonus on a Lambretta!!!
Cheers for the posts everyone

I fitted mine in the same place as Steve, but, looking at that pic, I drilled a 4mm hole to the left of the button. I cut the plug off the other end (with approx. 70mm of cable still on the plug end) and fed the cable through. I put some small diameter heat shrink tube over the cable to protect it from the throttle mechanism.
I then cut the cable to the required length and soldered the cables back together and finished the joints with heat shrink to protect the joints. All good.
If you want a pic I'll post one, let me know.

On a slightly different drift and I love this technology btw.
The speedo if cable driven is only as good as the drive mechanism and in my case wasn't much better than the original so I opted for the sensor. This is great and I calibrated it with a GPS so it's spot on, uses a magnet for the sensor. Only problem is the bloody mounting. I've fixed the sensor to the fork tube, but that's static and the magnet on the wheel isn't. So when I go over bumps or brake the magnet and sensor move out of line and speedo effectively stops. This isn't a major issue coz when it works it's spot on. However it affects the mileage reading, in my case typically under records mileage by between 4 and 7 %. Anyone got a better mounting solution?

I put it on the top of the master cylinder mount and ran the cable through the hole in the headset where the hydraulic hose enters.

Yes please Nelly, would love to see a pic of how you have done it!

For some reason I cant attach a pic, board attachment quota warning.
How are you posting pics?

Hers mine, with just a little slit cut into the switch housing:

Ahh, here you go

[Tractorman]

That looks neat.

That looks neat.

Clearly not a comment aimed at the general confusion of my workshop

[Tractorman]

If you can see the bench top then it's not a proper workshop

Here is my solution.Just run it out of the light switch. Pulled it out a little further and played about until it was a comfortable distance from the throttle for my thumb. Then you can easily flick though settings on the move. Still a little too distracting though! Li150 Series 2.
Bloody brilliant gadget now I have it working!!
