(UPDATED with nice photo's below)
Looking find or restore the electrical end of the starter cylinder, where the black disc with the six contacts meets the copper bit has become separated. There was a tiny bit of corrosion and the switch malfunctioned. The lock and Key seem to be fine. I left the roof off and rain got in there. (doh!) So I took everything apart to investigate the switch and contacts may be okay but its hard to tell a tiny spring popped out of somewhere, the other tiny spring is still in the center. The wires have been cut and soldered twice before reaching the 20 pin connector so someone has been in there before it looked kind of scrappy so I will make clean connections. The car is a 1971, later build. Secondly I want to drive my car since it is otherwise running like a top ( Thanks to Chris and Co. at Tangerine : ) Any clues on how to hot-wire it or add a temporary switch? Here is a list of wires: 1. Red (Has a tiny burn mark on contact side) 2. Red and Black 3. gray 4. Black 5.Black and Yellow Brown ( becomes Brown w/blue stripe) thanks guys! |

So that is when I got adventurous and decided just to rebuild the old part.
It has springs and all manner of small parts, one ball bearing. etc. Be careful when disassembling this part. I may have lost one spring. Is the copper plate supported by three springs there are three holds/holes for springs but only two springs. Also the copper part seems to be nicked on the edge. This is a case of reconstruction being very close to deconstruction. Tread lightly, the pot-metal is very cheap and fragile. I would love to just have a 'new' part, if anyone has one give me a shout. I cleaned everything and cobbled it back together as well as possible will try it this afternoon. Anyone ever re-build one of these? Have one to sell? Attached image(s) ![]() |
