Title: Sandcast Front Brake Switch - Colour Red or Black??
Post by: vnz00 on August 30, 2011, 10:04:39 pm: Hi All,
Just thought Id ask the question.

The brake pressure switch which screws into the front brake hose junction - is the plastic part in the centre supposed to be red or black? Im looking to buy a replacement and noticed that the colour is different on the original ones I have access to. I know Yamiya sell them, but I believe they are repops.

This is going on VIN 1853 if it helps.

Thanks,
Steven.

They are available in red as well. the black one I have access to looks to be in original early honda parts packaging, so Im leaning more towards it. Especially if you have only noticed black ones while you have been restoring your sandcasts :)

Nice find if you have com accross NOS "black" centre ones!
