'Morning all....

Does anyone know where I could obtain a switch plate / circuit for the bottom of the steering column on my 745?

The steering wheel has two controls on it - one for hand-throttle and the other for the lights main and dipped beam.

The switch for the lights is as the photo lifted from Packard Paddock (thanks)

Any suggestions gratefully received

Yes, thats exactly the piece, thanks.
For some reason I dont seem to be able to upload pics anymore - it might be just a temporary glitch.

So this is the switch circuit I am in need of. Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried John Ulrich? I know he has some steering columns, but I don't know if he has the plates.

I believe for a 903 it is similar but not exact. I think my is more round shaped than home plate shaped and has a switch mechanism.

The switch assembly is part number 178009 and was used from at least as early as the 443 model. I think I have one or two spares if you are still looking. Let me know your email and I will look.
