rvwp Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi Guys, Am looking for an original RHD overdrive switch to replace the repro one purchased from one of the major Triumph suppliers. The construction of the switch is that the contact board is retained by 2 vertical slots cast in the alloy body/ Unfortunately the depth of these grooves are inadequate in the repro and the board is not retained securely enough. In the way the switch is fitted the cable loom attached to this terminal board is under pressure as it is fed through the steering column and therefore needs to be firmly located in the switch body. I have taken this up with the R&D section of the supplier and it is under investigation. Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rvwp Posted December 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Defective Overdrive switch update. The stock at the well known supplier has been checked and one of the 9 currently held 1 was also defective. Seems like I received another defective one! Anyway, all's well that ends well and a replacement 'checked out for function' has been sent out to me. Good service but clearly no goods inwards QA checks at supplier.
