Randy, well done, well documented, you can restake the two parts together by cutting slots about 1/4 " apart midway between each of the original tags and bending over the lip on the switch body about 45º. The dremel slitting saw blade is ideal for this. The epoxy is probably a bit easier...

Stirling !!

Dave, I have an interest in a plastics fabricating company and I do all the engineering design , we make security screens for banks out of Lexan , we have in the past made security screens for taxis. I have been involved in plastic fabrication for about 13 years. WE conducted the world first...

Randy. like I said just needs patience some TLC and you can fix 'em

no I have not got it mixed up. Polycarbonate (lexan) is harder to break than acrylic but when it does it can be like broken plate glass with very sharp edges. Polycarbonate is not generally acceptable for automotive glazing. For the US it needs to comply to ANSI Z 26.1 for Au/NZ it needs to...

quality would be the issue , insist on Acrylic material that complies to ANSI - Z 26.1 grade AS-4 or better, I would not be using lexan, it shatters into shards like glass when it breaks. good quality acrylic sheet performs better than glass in terms of light transmission

John, that was about 15 years ago, there has been some development in prox switches and they are now much smaller down to 3mm, the one I used was 8mm, I reckoned that the groove in piston need to be wider to get a 'stronger" difference in field. A smaller dia prox would be not so susceptible...

John, I made an aluminium plug that took the place of the switch. I made a cap to hold it in via the three studs as the switch is normally retained. I used a threaded prox switch and inserted it into the plug, I sealed the prox switch with a fibre washer and lock nut on the outside. I could...

Hi John, an external electronic switching wont work as pump will pump at same speed all the time. the switching needs to be controlled by piston position and cycle rate. I did make one using a prox switch which sort of worked but needed to modify piston. I did not continue with it as I then...

Randy you must be running CLEAN fuel !! I have a similar anecdote I purchased one new in 1966, used it in a racing car for ~ 10 years, car sat until 2004, rebuilt car , fire up the pump and 100% OK and still going !! you may need to resilver the contacts, visit your local jewellry maker The...

Randy, If the switch has a positive action it is usually a contact problem If the switch does not have a positive action it is probably damaged in the pivot for the toggle and wont click "over" This happens when persons try to dismantle the pump without first removing the switch. Dry running...

Jimmy Mac, I also got lucky and have 2 NOS units + about 4 or 5 used ones that I have collected over the years. I have bought a couple without switches for spare parts. The switches can be repaired. I have repaired many pumps over the years invariably after someone has started to pull it...

.FIIK.

Jim, SW may have the drawings ??? they would be very easy to make, the switch is the complicated bit JimmyMac the switch is usually repairable, just needs patience Quite often the switch is damaged when people disamantle the pump without knowing how to or even just cleaning the pump internally...

NOS units on ebay have sold for up to USD $850. used between USD 100-250 I have a pump that I purchased new in 1967 and it is still in use and never failed or been rebuilt. I have purchased used pumps on ebay, cleaned them and put them to use. I have rebuilt a lot over the years but...

LG 600 145 lbs, no oil, no bell housing, with clutch fork,bearing,slave cyl and push rod, mag case Holds 3 pints of 90/140 in final drive and 3 pints in gearbox (imperial pints)

LG 600 which is the 5 speed has an overall length of approx 23.5 inches. dont have a ZF 5DS to measure, however, the ZFQ is approx 23 inches overall (not incl pump) and I understand that the ZFQ is dimensionally very close to the ZF 5DS The LG 600 has a right hand shift basically on top of the box

A refresh for Jac Mac's memory

This is how I did it

bakers dozen perhaps :)
