Thoght so, just spotted that had fallen out of the bag it was stashed in.

Right, anybody got one or are they unobtainium now, dare I ask?

Bryanj:
Found one on me study floor yesterday, you can fit it later if you want to, the big bit that is. Trigger had some of the contacts etched so you could replace just the contacts, the whole switch has long been discontinued and my stash of nos ones is no more

Laverdaroo:
There's one on the internet around the 40 quid mark but the listing is a bit curious, I've messaged the seller to see what the score is. Failing that and I'm going to have to go back to that breakers yard in the states when I go back there next month.

Oddjob:
Which bit do you need Roo?

I have a couple of the rotor bit, about the same nick as yours, there should be a small bump on the back which located into the slot on the end of the gearchange drum, the part which sticks through the seal. However it's not vital as so long as you fit it correctly and the screw/bolt is tight so it doesn't move it will work fine.

The other bit, you can either repair it or try and find a new one. I do have a couple of them if you need one, got 2 off those engines I just split.

Laverdaroo:
To be honest Ken, I can't even see where that tang came from! Is it off the rotor or the stay???

There was talk on here about using a 350 rotor but the thread goes quiet before any info of  if it worked was divulged. Did anybody hear anything about the fix or Mod that chap did?  From what I read, the strip of metal that causes the connection was smaller on the 350 item than the 550 one but the photo he put up wont open so cant even compare.

If the 350 one is a goer that might be an option. Mine doesn't have the dimple on the top, you can see where it was though. As for that snapped  tang, happy for any info as I say, have no idea where it came from, there are no bright bits on the rotor or signs of snappage on the stay so not sure what it's about. I cant see it on any photos I've found either. That one for sale in Hull is NOS in the bag but its 40quid which is a bit steep for me just at the minute but if I have to I will.

If you think you have a replacement I'll have it Ken as having never fitted one, this one pretty much falling off on dissasembly and me never having worked on these before, I have no reference point for bodging a knackered on such as this so maybe be advantageous buying a new complete one if no body has one fit for re use.
I presume thats where the connector goes to the loom but no info here and bad photograhy means I'm flyong blind on this bit.
