Ignition Canister

I've finally found someone (in the UK) who can supply the ignition can connectors for the R100. They are Auto Electrical Components, Parts and Accessories for Trade and DIY: Polevolt Ltd. It's the male side which is very difficult to obtain and I needed one for a spare can. They're under "sealed connectors" and are called "junior power timer" connectors.

Update

Unfortunately this supplier will only post to addresses within the UK, as stated on their site. When I emailed them about it I never got a reply. I had to order some connectors via a friend in the UK and they've arrived as promised and fit perfectly. A small problem for those outside the UK but not insurmountable I hope. Perhaps someone like Motobins could stock them?

So that's why they still have to respond to my e-mail...
Poor manners!
Not what I would expect of Englishmen...

So John Cleese did have a point with Fawelty Towers...

I guess if they say "no international orders", why should they reply to a query for an international order? Still, it's poor. I have advised Motobins in the UK of the situation, so hopefully they might stock the parts for international customers. I know any suitable electrical connector will work, but it's nice to have the real thing to avoid modifying the bike. In my case, I've rebuilt a spare can with a new transistor but it also needed the connector.
