jscheib Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Being pot metal, and any replacement will be equally brittle, I suggest you take the parts to a machine shop and have them fabricate a replacement from aluminium block. Might be expensive, but worth it. I have several similar parts in my '32. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lever looks the same. I'd need a clearer pic of the back of yours where the large mounting hole is. I will try to locate it today. If I find it, I will take a picture and measure it. . .

michaelod Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I purchased one in stainless steel from Bob's Automobilia several years ago. Don't know if he still has any in stock, but it might be worth looking into. EDIT: I just checked and he still shows them in his catalog.

I checked Bob's web site and posted a link earlier today. Then I noticed it is marked "Sold Out", so i deleted my post. It certainly wouldn't hurt to give Bob a call. EDIT: I was looking at the wrong item.

Bob Engle Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 In some years, the switch lever was marked with an "ON" indicator. The reproduction parts don't have the lettering. Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsupon1 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Bob. In my car the lever moves another piece inside and a little arm attached moves a indicator that says on or off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
