    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

gear indicator switch

I broke off the right ear of my gear indicator switch. I tried to use a hand made retaining ring to retain it around the switch, but about 1/4" of the switch ear was gone and had no pressure on the o-ring, therefore a small oil leak. I hate any leaks. Referring to my beloved Haynes Manual, page 63, GIS[#42]. If I was to remove GIS[#42], and replace it with a correct size handmade plate of the same dimension, I think it would work. But my main concern is removing p/n 47 & 48 [gear position contact pin & spring] I can can easily live without a gear "position indicator". But can ANY damage be incured by NOT having the "gear position contact pin & spring", in place?
 
Na, loose the pin and switch. You won't have a neutral switch anymore though.

BTW, I think I have one of those swiches from a GS1000G. If you want it I'll double check the spares box.
 
Thanks, na. I just did not know if a serious problem would occur with those two parts removed. Thanks a lot. jon.
