Ted, I'd probably have used red rubber grease as I find this perfect for slipping wires in sheaves etc. But silicone would do the Jon just as well, I'm sure.

Tim, you are  star!
I now have everything working however, I'm somewhat baffled by the switchgear before I took it apart!
In short, it appears to be a non OEM part and was missing parts compared to the one you sent me. With a bit of dexterity, I managed to fit the button, spring and mini pcb board from your part and resolder the wires accordingly. Needed to tap one hole for an M4 screw. It certainly wasn't easy but far easier than trying to remove the cables from the inside of the handlebars and replace once fixed. Starter now operating and I'm ready to pop a bit of oil in the rebuilt engine and test the oil pressure.

Bienvenue Hugo!

Machine mart do an air assisted ramp. If yours is a Clarke one (or similar) I'm sure you could add this option.
Maybe worth investigating.

In fact, I'm tempted to do that to mine....

Ha! Typical, just as I am getting close to the finish line.
The current one is longer than it should be and the knuckle is a little strange - someone has cut the spline section as it looks like it was a solid part rather than having a 'pinch' effect when bolted up.  :'(

Cheers, Tim. By the time it arrives, I'll be ready to take the existing one apart!!

The floor is concrete but not that smooth so the larger the wheel the better.
I've adapted my bike ramp so it can go sideways both ends, front was on casters and the rear a solid axle.
I made two brackets up to carry casters and bolted them to the rear.
Works quite well now.

You see, I sometimes don't think out of the box! As I need to replace a seal in my ramp, I'll add the casters the same time - great idea.
As far as 'dollies' are concerned, I'd like to see one that allows the use of a centre stand - my old bikes don't have a side stand. If they did, then maybe this would type do the job:
