Default Switches And Switch Plates

Hi Scott - looking at your images of the switch plates I am not sure whether they are correct. You need to remove them to see if my attached image fits.

The switches you are asking about, I am on my second box of fifty. Again look at my switch image where you can see five out of the six are Off/On switches whereas the Gas Switch is an On/On switch that took me over a year to source. There are plenty of On/On Bat Handle toggle switches but not Ball Handle. I have also replicated the small switch plates. I have a couple of complete sets left but then I am out of the On/On switch until I can find some more. On the other hand if you require the large switch plates, I have provisions for those as well. The only difference with the old and new switches is that the On/Off toggle does not stop in the centre. It rests above and below centre respectively.

Bob

Default OK but

A common problem with sender units is: the rotating shaft has to make a earth connection to the sender units body .. Sometimes that shaft doesn't touch the body cleanly ..it's a intermittent connection as it rotates . Make sure you are touching the actual body of the sender with the probe , not just the shaft itself . If you are touching just the shaft, then your getting misleading results

AC= Albert Champion , the modern spark plug inverntor .... I think I am correct.

Default Switch Plate

Hi Robert - well here is something new to me. I have never seen this configuration of switch plate. I would love to get my hands on one of these to see if I can replicate it.

Default Memory boost for Bob Moseley

Bob check out the thread Robert Pearce starts to restore post #91 to #94.
The plate is about 1/16" and the lettering embosed from behind.
I realy hope to have the blitz at Corowa 2012.

Default Switch Plate

Hi Robert - I remember it now but never did anything further with it. What I need is to see, touch and smell this plate to see if it feasible to replicate it. Any offers of a loan?

Bob
