I am in experiment mode

Have just ordered a couple of momentary type toggle switches that may fit the pear shaped overdrive switch housing on a TR3A, in a better way than the SPDT micro/mini switch I have currently fitted.

It has an adult toggle to operate compared to the micro/mini switch.

I quite like this idea although it looks a tad fragile. The overall length is 13cm so The stalk is probably about 11cm - enough to be within reach of a finger with a hand on the steering wheel

That looks like an on/off two position switch not a spring loaded passing contact momentary type of switch, which is needed for Roger’s unit.

If I translate directly it’s an impulse switch, the gubbins says it comes back to its initial position. At least I hope that is what it does!

This sort can easily be fitted inside the TR3- 3A overdrive switch housing

These photos are of a center biased two way switch, but the single way biased switch above will fit just the same.

I have one of these momentary switches spare if anyone requires one, they are a bit hard to find with decent length stalks these days

Hi Tim,

 can't think of a reason why it would not fit.  It is the same escutcheon.

The lever could be extended by cutting in half what is there and fitting a tube over the two halve of whatever length.  I do this on badly corroded original switches

Hi Roger, do you still have  any of your the O/D logic controllers (A-type) and column switches, in stock?

Cheers,

Paul.
