1961 G12 CSR mag cut out button or remote switch?

Post by CAB »

Hello
I'm going to return my 1961 CSR to magneto ignition. The previous owner had fitted 6v electronic ignition which has always worked but I would prefer it to be original. I'm trying to work out if the magneto should have the cut out on the end cap or a remote swith on the handle bar. The parts list states the remote cable type end cap for the CS and CSR model but only the CS is listed as having the remote switch and cable to suit it. Can anyone confirm which type should be fitted? If it is the remote type how is it attached to the magneto end cover?
Thanks

Cap should be the one with cable to handlebar kill button for a '61. There are two covers - one is a screw on type with central earth stud, obtainable from Independent Ignition Supplies - the second is Bakelite with olive connection on the side secured by a clip from the mag body. JSL do these.
