Neutral switch disassembly
Jan B:
Does anyone have experience with disassembling a neutral switch? I would like to zinc plate the steel parts. The non-conducting middle part seems to be locked in place with some kind of laquer.
Jan B:
I decided to give it a try myself. I applied some heat from a heatgun untill the "laquer"started to bubble. With special tool I made with a 3D-printer I was able to unscrew the non-conducting part.

Happy with the result. Now i have to do some research as to find a suitable locking agent. Maybe a medium treadlocker...

That's a lot of attention to detail for such a small part.
It will be interesting to see the parts you are plating when they are done.
Spitfire:
Nice one

Great work Jan ... that should be in 'Anoraks Corner' so it can be easily found and referenced in the future.
If it was a good working unit, I would be inclined to seal up the ball end in some way, then bead blast clean and zinc plate at home. I don't think a commercial plater would entertain plating it that way though. So you would have to do as you have done and break down to the component parts.
