Bodge job

[mickdundee]

I was having a play with the lathe this morning when the start switch decided to stop working. It wouldn't stay closed so would only work while my finger was on the button. Had a rake around the tubs and found a solution

Back in the game haha

We have a switch exactly like that for the spotlights on the Mog...

I doubt I'll change that either haha. Probably just cut the panel so the light switch can be screwed in

That sounds like most Land Rovers.

Love the idea of being able to give a shot of easy start from the drivers seat

If thats a12 volt switch running 240 I don't think I would employ you as an electrician.

Good luck with that. Don't touch it with wet hands.

On second thoughts don't touch it at all.

Pretty sure that's a 240v fused outlet.

Certainly fused whatever the voltage and certainly swinging in the breeze. So easy for someone to put their fingers behind. No children around I trust.

I hope there is an RCD protecting the workshop.
