I'll ask me aussie connection. Won't be that much, and you'll get it in about 1 1/2 weeks.

Is that the one that mounts on the airbox? If so I have one. Make me an offer.

BTW, My Dad lived in Silver Spring for years back in the '70's.

Make your own one.



There are 5 wires follow this procedure.

1) Get four 10 Watt Ceramic resistors with a value of 5.6 or 5.8 ohms as close as you can come from any electronics store

2) Join all 4 ends together with some solder and a piece of wire as one common point. This will then connect to the red wire on your wiring diagram.

3) On the opposite ends of the resistors now join each one to the 4 wires which are left over Y,L,G,W

Thats it you have just made your own resistor pack which is about a quater of the size of the original and cost you about $2 dollars.
