Images tend to get lost when the Site was revamped.

You can always put up a WTB or an Ad in the Sec Gen Parts section.
That would save you time on rebuilding the switch.

I'm getting older and my eye sight Must be going as I am now looking at Large girls and think they look hot!
So any "squinty soldering jobs" are out of the question..lol!..so I just get parts off the Guys here on forum..
Thanks guys!

Just to add, I have rebuilt my switch and I thought I posted pics in another thread but I can find it.

If you need to rebuild your switch, it's really easy, just PM me.

Ah **** my wiper switch must be bad too. It only works on 1 speed, and i have to like time it for them to rest in the right spot or they just stop where they are.
