Subject:Ethnicity of Oil Pressure Switch

Respond directly. I'm on the Digest and need to know before the FLAPS close.

Partners in grime:

My oil pressure switch is leaking.  The one on the side of the case
(between cyl 3 & 4).  I went down to autozone and bought a couple of
new ones thinking they would be the white variety  as pictured in
RMMW (056 919 081C).  BD shows this  part number to be side of case
and a .3 bar switch.  Looking now at the one I'm replacing, it's
brown.  Is that how a 056 919 081C is really color coded or does RMMW
have it wrong.  Autozone carries all "races", white, brown, gray,
black. The local foriegn FLAPS also distinguishes them by color and
does not know where they go. Which color corresponds to which oil
pressure switch?

Tnx
Steve
