I need some e marked indicators on long stalks. Where can i get some? from tip to tip they need to be 145mm or more.
Any motorbike shop will be able to sell them to you. When do you need them for. Ive got a pair of indicators mounted on extension stalks which will be available after my SVA (which wont be soon). If you need them for a short time just to get through SVA perhaps you could borrow them.
Loads of them on ebay. These are the same as I got and just made up some extensions for them

Went to my local bike shop, and halfords. They do "long" and short ones but none long enough. They're all 90 or 100mm and I need 150
or so.
It was the making of an extension that I was finding difficult. It needs to be hollow, for the wires and have an 8mm (I think) thread tapped in one
end, to screw onto the light and an 8mm external thread for the nut on the other. easy if you have a lathe.
I thought that as so many people need these for SVA that you might be able to pick one up "off the shelf".
Have a look at the Luego site CarsVelocityBuild manualStage 10front light fittings.
I have done mine like that and they worked out fine
www.s-v-c.co.uk go to more lights and under L874 PEDESTAL INDICATOR youll find soem that are 120mm long, any use?

get an m8 nut, and knock it into the end of a piece of 15mm copper pipe. it will deform the pipe so making it captive against rotation. a bit of super
glue and it's fixed in. do this with the other end once cut to the right length
now drill a 5mm hole down an m8 bolt. 8mm hole in the nosecone, and bolt it through, having previously threaded the wires through. connect up, and
marvel at your handy work.

P.S i accept no responsibility if this doesn't work. it was an ian brown kit tip from which kit?, and based on his other 'gems'
it's probably a load of old tosh, but does look better than most stuff he comes up with.

Indykids answer will work. I came up with the same solution but used 15mm plastic pipe and araldited the nuts in. The plastic pipe was allready black matching the colour of the indicator stalks.
