550 F2 started!
Bryanj:
If you look at the stator part of thr switch there id a copper piece bent in a u shape and the free end rubs on the outside of the rotor, when it touches the brass in the rotor it grounds via the screw and green light comes on.
The loose bit is the end of the u section that rubs on the rotor, the hole should be a dimple and it has been weakend and broke off.
As i said Trigger had a sheet of etched copper contact strips so you could remove the original rivets and use small bolts n nuts. I will be seing them in november ask if he has any left and i will collect

I found one in an old box in the shed some months ago, switch and rotor IIRC.
I'll send it with the stuff with the fork sliders when I finally get round to doing them. The envelope with the small bits is sealed and TBH I don't think it would have gone in anyway.

I get how it works, just havent seen a new one or one thats functional. So is it the rotor thats goosed or the actual 'stay' then? Still cant find any bright metal on it in the slightest depicting where this bit is from........, wonder if it was hanging on by a thread and gave up in the bag, with the removal being it's swan song?? It's no surprise tbh, everything else on this has been bodged, hacked, cut off or shagged out so its no surprise really!
In that case I'll hang fire for a bit then Ken, thanks mate, let me know how much and I'll fling you some spuds over mate.
Bryan, thanks mate you are a true Gent. Grab one/some anyway then, they sound particularly useful to have floating about in the workshop and you being so close makes it rather handy if I have to bob up and see you for a blag ;) 8)

The bottom pic is the CB500/550 neutral switch and you can clearly see the part you found in the bag.
