Landing Light Switch - circa '53

Post by 4-Shipp »

Just finished a 2 1/2 day owner assisted annual - not too bad, learned a great deal, skinned a few knuckles, and reviewed the finer points of changing cylinders and setting zero lash gaps on pushrods, but that is another post...

I need a landing light switch. The plastic block inside mine has deformed over the years and allows the brass plate to ground against the case. Consequently whenever I turn on the second detent (landing) I blow the fuse. Are these switches availalbe or can parts be scrounged? Any help is as always appreciated.
