[TR] TR3A Overdrive Switches

[Ibsen Dow]

I purchased a used original overdrive switch when mine failed. That was 20
years ago and still works outstanding. I not familiar with the aftermarket
reproductions as far as quality.

  Ola, all!
  I retrofitted my '59 3A restoration with an A overdrive.  That to me is the
best improvement on my car, which also includes a Pertrinox, the upgraded rear
oil seal, a wood steering wheel, four tandem brakelights, and a front swaybar
that I intend to sell on e-bay because--despite the list opinions--I simply
don't feel the need for since I don't drive that hard into corners.
  Anyway, I bought varous electrical OD switches for the dash, and all of them
eventually failed.  Then I ordered an Aftermarket OD switch from one of the
Big 3, and now I find I have to wiggle it to make it kick in.
  Were the original switches that flimsy?
