*sigh*

taking things to their logical end does not always have much to do with
reality.

It is, actually, easier to have a piston made or a cylinder sleeved to fit
than it is to find a cable with an inline switch.

I'n not enthused about having a 30 year old cable on the front brake anyhow.

SO I will try to find a method where I can use a brake lever based switch if
at all possible.

Why do people insist on "Well MY so and so works JUST FINE...la la la"?

well MY dealer was reluctant to sell me one because THEY don't like the idea
of putting the old POS on my bike. and that is good enough for me..la la la.

NOS sometimes = POS 'kay?

The one I got is fine, and designed to work specifically with my Eldo.
I'm not sure why you want to cobble something up, when the original works
so well...

As far as parts for old bikes, I guess all the parts could dry up in the
future, and pistons may have to be custom made, but since new ones are
still available, why not use them?

Just my opinion..
