Mk1 ignition button

[derk derin]

Hi Doug,
I saw a set of plates for the carrier dash on Dirk Leegwaters site under Armour category.I used a bus starter button for years until I found a carrier up in northern Manitoba in a swamp with the original starter button still in the dash.That is the only one I have come across since then.Maybe ask Dirk if you inquire about the dash plates if he has one or knows of something close you can use?

ask Martyn on here but iam sure the starter button is a bog standard lucas part which is still in circulation..... used on fork lift trucks these days ? he did show me one when i went down to visit and it was exactly the saem as my original item which i have on my carrier.

Richard,
Thanks for the tip. I hope Martyn will reply to this thread, or the private one I sent him.
To you, and all, "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year"! I hope that you all have a safe, and rewarding holiday. Take care, and a big Thanks for your help.

Hey Doug, if you find a source I could use one as well.

Hi just to clear it up a bit the horn button is the same as a fork truck standard Lucas part, ive not found a starter button yet in any vehicle parts books how ever if i do i will let you know.

the master switch in an M8 armoured car is the same construction , if you open the rivets for holding it together , and remove the locking device , it wil be a push button again .and grind the turn strip of the button .

sorry guys, my mistake. i am sure if the horn button is "gettable" the starter one will be too, i will strip mine out see if i can locate a manufacturers serial number or something.
