The floor mounted dip switch has stopped working :2mo5pow:
I've seen a couple on ebay, both lucas. One has the part number
spb605 and marked as a Lucas 502087.
The other one is marked RTC432.
They do look differant to each other.
WSL is 1961 S3.
Thanks

Richard WSL is a 1961 S2, Bratty fingers!
I've got 2 different types on both of the S2, one that sits on
the footwell and one that goes through the footwell, assuming
you want the one that goes through the footwell as that is the
one that is in Prescilla.
I've got a couple sat here, but to be sure it's not a leccy
issue is it before you go swapping?

Oops spacky finger moment :rolleye0012:
Think it is the switch as when I go to change from dip to main,
they sometimes do as they should but mostley go out completly
:2mo5pow:
It then takes a lot of pressing/stamping to get the lights back
on.

Had several do this to me, got fed up one day and opened one up,
just drilled out the rivets.
Inside of mine was a square bar of plastic with brass contacts
on it, all the contacts where dirty so I gave them a clean and
riveted back together.
It works for me.

^^^^that looks like the one CBS sell.....
Slight side track here but I'll get back to the point:
I used to drive a self propelled crop sprayer which had a floor
mounted switch for knocking off/on the main boom flow control. (
so you could knock off the boom sections on the joystick one by
one and so not get spazzy finger overload knock of the main
switch by foot)
So, it gets used everytime you get to the headland turn and if
you multiply the amount of times you turn by the amount of times
you spray 4000acres during a season muliplied by 3/4years you
get to a 'fuck of alot' and the switch never failed .
The sprayer was (then) a Gem of Lincoln, latterly CaseIH and I
believe the switch was a Durite one.
May not be rivet counting 'genuine' but if they can stick that
and the mud n' water then maybe worth a look
