Shep, are there any benefits to using that switch over the stock one, or is it not worth the effort to do if you have a working one?

you can do a micro-switch mod to both but I found out by accident that the Maplin switch is easier to do the mod to because the internal part of the switch is a 1 piece design,the 1 sp use is 2 piece & very fiddlely to get back together.
If you want a lighter trigger I would get the switch from maplins & mod it (make it lighter than the stock 1) prior to taking the stock 1 off the board that way if you mess it up its only cost you 80p,or get 2 thats what i did now i have a spare

hey i jsut took anuther look at my impy wen i pres the switch with m finger it works fine but its as if my triger is nt pushing it upp high enough ? this mean tht the switch is snaped or sumt els ?
Maybe whatever screw is meant to push on the switch isnt set right? Or...might be that cos you found part of the switch, there isn't enough of the lever left for the trigger to engage with, so your trigger is moving up fine but there's nothing there for it to push on.
thts the thing i duno if this metal bit is of it . is it posible it is the spring tht sits on top of the triger or dos it fo under neath . gd this is anoying
if its a flat silver piece it sits in the micro-switch have a look here to see if its the bit you mean http://www.shockerowners.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=496
The pic number 2 show what the micro-switch should look like(its the board of an 03 shocker but the switches are the same)
if the silver lever on the top is missing the switch won't activate as the trigger hits that part not the grey button.Also if that part is not on unless you have damaged switch it should go back on you need to squeeze the end with the slot in it & hook the corners with the little tags on them into the holes in the end of the switch(the end closest to the egde of the board/front if i remember correctly)
Hope this helps if not my offer still stands
