One job done !!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bryanj:
I have some NOS neutral switchs but they were not cheap

corromant:
If I haven't already ordered the silver steel I would have had a rod from you Trigger.

Bryanj if I can't get the switch working I will contact you.

Trigger:
Do not take any measurements from the old rod as this is already worn, the hard bit of making the rod is to get the ends correct. The ball bearing needs to be a nice fit or the rod will wear it flat. As the rod pushes the mushroom it turns and needs to fit correct in the mushroom  ;)

corromant:
From what I have read one end of the rod needs to be domed & the other flat, is this correct?

There is a lot of false info on these rods as a lot of the measurements were taken from worn rods. It is domed to fit the mushroom and the other end is bowled/dished so that the ball bearing fits  ;)
