Z650 switchgear - lights on/off mount

#1 PostAuthor: mothra » Fri Dec 12, 2008 2:18 pm

Aaaarrggh Again.

I'm posting on the offchance you can help me out - just snapped off the screw that holds the lights on/off switch on the RHS switchgear. Anyone happen to have an old set of switchgear you want to offload, so I can swap out the switch mount? Deosn't matter how skanky, just think that would be a lot easier than trying to remove the broken off screw with a tiny EZout.

Thanks,

Stu

Yeah, thanks for that - I suspect that as there's no part number for the mounting block they'll both want to sell me a complete switchgear in perfect working order - I'm hoping someone has something really nasty I can cannibalise... :-)

You guys are all bloody awesome.

I've included three photos to try to get the idea across - one of the switchgear housing, one looking in, and one of the bit I need on it's own...

As you can see, it's pretty small. Anyone got one?

Any help very gratefully received...
