If the only difference is the extra brown wire then you should be able to use the earlier 4 wire switch but good luck finding an original Honda bracket and then you would need to weld a bracket for it to bolt to onto the frame.
The us boys used to move the early switch to between the clocks with a bracket that i may have one of somewhere but finding it is a problem.
I am just back from my sisters funeral, give me some time and i will check out the wiring diagrams for you

He has only had one failure caused by mounting in a bad place so the box filled with water after more than a year which he repaired free, i would happily use one along with a nos honda points plate

Its not the head you need to skim but the barrel so as to reduce the depth of the recess for O ring by 3 to 5 thou.
I did once think aboutputting a small shim in the recess but getting an accurate sized shim that thin did not appear easy

If yo meanthe pivot in the frame that the pedal fits on yes it knocks out after swing arm removed.
Personally i only think tapers are worth it if you want the last ounce of performance and handling, tapers can be a pain to fit right and are a real bugger to get the outer races out again! You can get ball races where the balls are in a cage so easier to fit, i think i have seen them on motorcycle products site, yes thats the second time i have mentioned them today and no i dont get anything fo it!

In that case it should have the clutch switch and brake light switch which are the same except wire colours and only you will see them, if you have problems locating them try the 125 single with drum brake

Is this not a drum braked 360 or am i remembering wrong(getting more common!) If so it would be a us import and probably have the switch etc.
Easy to tell, look if there is a hole in the flat part close to where the lever pivots, if it is a drum there will be similar on brake side

All except the swing arm bushes need to come off, the bushes may or may not be damaged by the heat of stove enameling but they are a swine to push out and in
