<div dir="ltr">Mike and fellow Big Healey Listers, Guys...<div>I cannot remember if I restored Mike trafficator switch. I will tell you that I warn customers to NEVER, <font size="4">NEVER</font>, <font size="6">NEVER</font> attach the switch to the stator tube out of the vehicle. Mike, sorry, but you're now the fifth person who has broken their switch when the tube feel on the floor.</div><div><br></div><div>I've been doing this for 30+ years. I have a propitiatory system developed over these years that works extremely well.</div><div><br></div><div>See my attached brochures. Everyone of these was restored using basic techniques that you are all discussing. And no, I don't divulge those techniques. This is my business, and what funds my restoration projects.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike, Give me a call, and then send me your switch and I will fix it for you, and of course I will NOT charge you since you've freely given me parts, advice and friendship these many years.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, yes, Bakelite is an early form of plastic made using wood particles (SAWDUST) mixed with a formaldehyde formula and baked under pressure. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Curt</div><div> </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Oct 20, 2019 at 3:02 PM Michael MacLean <<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr">I have a trafficator that was built by someone on the list. Sorry it's been so long that this has been sitting waiting for it's part in the restoration I just don't remember who did this for me. Today my dog knocked it over (the stator tube is installed). It was leaning up against a corner of the room with a cotton cloth covering it to keep the dust out. I put it back upright, but thought I should look at it and this is what I found. Who on the list has parts for this? Curt? I can't even figure out how to take it apart to just send the head out for repair.</div><div dir="ltr">Mike M</div></div></div>
