Thanks for the replys but the answer is as feared.does anyone have any clear pics of the plates ie switches gear shift and warning plates so i can see about getting some decals made.Or altenatively does anyone have a fairly good shift plate for a 11 cab F15A with the single shift transfer box they would like to sell as thats the worst of them all

thanks
luke

Default Toggle switch with little ball

This weekend I spotted on the coverage of NASCAR racing toggle switches with the little ball on the end like those used on Pattern 12 Chevys. Will search for more information.

You will see them on older examples of radio and or electrical fittings. Generally of UK origin. I have seen many variants of these toggle switches over the years.

The original examples I have , scrounged from cab 12 wrecks , are of dubious quality . From many perspectives, in plain terms, THEY ARE CRAP ...

I found some NOS examples , made in the UK , at a swap meet. They are pictured here with the tag . Also , one is still inside the plastic cover,, from the 1950's I think.

Default Switches

These are the switches that were in my gun tractor when I got it. I have done a search for Alpha and come up blank.
Does anyone know them and what happened to them after the war?

Hey BooBee - what's happening. Still haven't heard from the above.
