hi i had the same issue, my resistor fell apart to. I looked at alternatives, but decided to keep to one speed, be careful of the heat produced as the current produced is quite high, and for the sake of a lower speed you don't want to risk a fire. current approx. 5-6amps 12volts divided approx. 2 ohms

yes you are correct with the colour, I spent quite a bit at mirage, tank straps etc.. Thanks for your comments, I've gone the whole deal and sent my seats off for re-upholstery in full grey original colour leather so looking forward to seeing how they look.
