Seat switches..?
We all know McCloud doesn't respond. My question is,are the switches made by a different company? I ordered two switches from our local Formula dealer,and even they are having trouble. I seem to break one a year. First on my 312 and now on the 382. Mine are the white ones BTW.

Any switch will work. I will try and take a look at the ones at my shop and see if I can get you a part number.

The switches on my 382 are from Carling but they would not sell to me direct. The switch has a special bezel which precludes buying from a distributor.
You need to be careful. Mine were originally black. I thought white would look better so I bought white when one of the black ones failed. The whites are a little taller. I have not figured out how to pull the wires down to give them room.

The problem is that the switch extends into the seat about 1/8" farther than the original. The cavity is small and there are 4 fairly heavy gage wires . If I screw down the bezel the pressure from the wires causes the switch to pop out of the bezel. I am probably going to machine a thicker bezel to make it work but I am afraid that people will get scraped or hung up on it.

Try twisting the switch around a few times as you push it in, or just reach in there and remove some material.
