A Study Of Switch Plates

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Mariano,

They are late war plates made of steel. I can see a bit of a round gauge on the right side. I have seen earlier ones made of brass.
The brass ones only control one set of lights with each switch while this type allows three combinations of lights on three switches.

The blank space on the ignition plate is for the Autopulse (fuel pump) switch when fitted.

As is so often the case, two holes have been enlarged to fit non-standard switches. Very hard to find plates that haven't had this done to them over the years.

Cheers,
