Oddball Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hi All Has anyone managed to repair this switch. Two of the wires have detached from the circuit board leaving nothing to solder to. If not can anyone recommend a supplier of a good quality replacement.. Thanks Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crawfie Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 One thing I learnt very quickly from the forum is not to buy new Lucas parts as they are ****. I've bought used stuff from the TR Shop in London. Other wise PM Conrad (open road) on the forum. He will have anything you need . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grahamgl Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 It is relatively easy to repair the switch, I am no electrician but I have repaired several of them. First thing is to carefully drill out the rivet that holds the indicator arm to the switch case. Use a small centre point drill to start the process and then use a normal metal drill. Be careful when removing the arm from the case as there are small parts being held in place by the arm. Once you have dismantled carefully clean the circular contact ring, re-solder the wires. You will need a 3mm cap head screw and a 3mm nylock nut and washers to re-assemble the switch. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oddball Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks both, I’ll have a go at repairing it first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
