Ah yes, the never-ending boxes of bits, bolts and brackets. I throw very little away when tearing a machine down and thus my wife thinks I am a hoarder although I just think of it as just using up the bits when time comes.

Must agree that patience is good tool when tracking down parts, he'll I just got a part for one bike that I have been loo...

That is the style I use as well and with a small press switch located in an unobtrusive spot it can be quite handy. Had not thought of mounting in the dummy battery case, not a bad alternative.
