BAD SCRAPPY BRAKE SWITCHES

[Deleted]

I just threw my 4th, only got 40 to 50 days of use from it brake switch away, from scrappy.

30.00 bucks gone and i still got no brake switch.

I told them and they said thanks for the heads up.

I bought 2 more and just threw the last (4th) out as it went dead

I love those folks, and say that in every order--but......

I found a new place called i1800coolparts

but their brake switch arrived to day and did not fit

[bagga]

lets see a pic of the switch. i had a few brake light switches go out on my harleys and i replaced them with switches from an auto parts store. $10 auto parts store verses $30 or so for a harley switch. same switch, different box is all it amounts to.

thanks bagga

these come left and right hand, this is a left, and it is upside down
sorry not trying to make any one dizzy, i did not take picture

[bagga]

i see now they're mechanical switches, the HD switches i speak of are screwed into the rear master cylinders and are hydraulic. google any numbers that are on them and brake light switch.

Terra Nuvo,


I found you! It is good to hear from you again. I hope all is well. I was wondering what had happened to you. I don't post on most of the scooter forums anymore after some nastiness several months ago.(turtle) I wonder if a certain red head is on this forum as well hmm

A SMILING GRAND THOUSAND HELLOS TO YOU loganhes
few things could have made my day better then to come here and cross your path.

You are not alone in your experiances, many good hearted folks have left the forums in good taste and self preservation to avoid the depression and infiantile nastyness the mods have let prevail.

Never doublt your decision to find more wholesome pastures.

Do feel most safe to come here, rebel runs a most mature and tastful "Forum"

I have been developing my business and trying to stay young at heart.

Many e-mail me from off the forums, but have done as you have and stay low.

The redhead is working hard on her craft as a artist and trying to deal with the redhead factor (RC-1 Redhead Gene ) that makes her so ( and many redheads) hyper sensitive.

I have taken refuge in art and all forms of sane expressions of beauty.

Do know all my best wishes follow you and yours always

HERE'S SOME MUSIC FOR YA

MY BRAKE SWITCHES ARRIVED TO DAY FROM 1800COOLPARTS AND THEY DO NOT FIT

SO DO NOT BUY SWITCHES FROM I800COOLPARTS

[Rebel]

have you tried Parts for scooters?

Can you fill us in a little more, exactly where is it located on the scooter. Pictures would be nice of your actual parts and location.

please note the picture above is from 1800coolparts

SEE HOW THEY HAVE TURNED IT BACKWARDS

thats so you can not see the switch does not have a square cut over the screw hole, theirs will not fit like the one you see below from parts for scooters, very starnge, i have never seen a brake switch like the one above.

I had to cut a square over the screw hole to get it in, and "IN" is not a very good name for how moding this switch will allow it to go in and work.

I modd--ed 3 switches in 1 1/2 hours with a razor knife

1800COOLPARTS IS HIDING THE FACT THEIR SWITCH WILL NOT FIT LIKE PARTS FOR SCOOTERS WILL.

great but just exactly where does the thing mount on your scooter. The reason I keep asking is because I was trying to find one on other parts places and sometime you need to know the geographic location.

on the brake lever where handle meets plunger

[Rebel]

Thats where I figured I was looking at Kymco People 150 scooters and hoped it had a similar one have you looked there?

its the standard "Box Break Switch" scrappy sells as seen above

but scrappys blow in 3 weeks.

I have the 3 1500coolparts sold me "remodded" so i am fine for a while

but nobody think they can buy 1800cools box switch and just put it in,

theirs you have to cut a square into.

which is not easy, plus a great way to slice your hand.
