What does the killswitch look like inside?

[deltarider]

No, no plans to open it, but I always wondered; what does the killswitch look like inside? Brass contacts? Steel? Any pics?

From memory brass contact pins on end of cables set in body with contact strip on red switch

[Oddjob]

Brass contacts set inside a bakolite type plate and a small contact plate with a spring under it inside the red plastic part of the switch.

Thanks gentlemen.

If you ever have the joy of trying to put one back together after restoration, it's a memorable experience (for all the wrong reasons).

Yea ... try fitting a black kill-switch knob from a really early 750K1 to a K0. Metal pin is slightly shorter

Hi Deltarider

I think I have some pictures of mine when I had the switches apart a few years ago. If you email me I will send you the pictures

Best Regards
