I just bought what was listed as LHS switchgear for a Firestorm off Fleebay.
It arrived this morning, but its nothing like what I expected. There's just dip, horn and indicator switches on it. Nothing to actually switch the lights on and no headlight flasher.
Does anyone know if early Storms were different??
Appreciate any advice.

Thanks guys. The guy I bought it from isn't replying to my messages, so I guess I've been had.
Still I've bought another, with a much clearer picture.
I don't actually want it for the VTR. Its for an old Velocette I'm restoring. The switchgear on this bike is really old and I'm not risking the lights going out every time I go over a bump in the road!

LSM,
Could have, but the Firestorm switch is good quality, neat and has all the functions I need. Most of the "replica" stuff is poor quality anyway. I've retained the original switch just as a battery isolator.
The aim is to build something I can ride. I may even put indicators on it (sacrilege
). I'll probably be excommunicated from the Velo Owners Club!
