Sourcing the engine kill & light switch
« on: March 29, 2016, 07:43:17 AM »
I can't seem to find the above anywhere, does anyone know if they are available without having to buy the complete assembly?

Thanks

Good luck on that, Chris. If the Easter Bunny didn't leave you something, I'd say you're SOL on sourcing the individual switch components. Check in with either Bins or Works for gently used switch assemblies. I've purchased a couple via FleaBay that were decent and not terribly pricey.

Thanks Monte,

Yes I am exploring that, the other option is to try and do something with the existing units.

Are you wanting the plastic levers n' toggles to be virgin-like new?

Unrealistically, yes, but if not available, then do what I can to brighten the existing ones up.

I am doing some research on whether I can renovate them.
