Hideway Headlight Switch Arm Broken. Can I Repair It?

[Skull-1]

Post Office broke my headlight switch by tossing my Ralleye Cluster around like a sack of potatoes.   The headlight switch rocker arm broke.    Is this repairable?

I've had good luck repairing ant plastic with "Q-Bond" it's like super glue and a powder. You wet with glue and pour some powder, wet again and pour more powder. (And so on.) It's very tough stuff.

Guess I can try it...


This is so annoying.   I can't believe nobody repros these!

[b5blue]

They do I've seen them.

I saw just the toggle for a replacement somewhere?

Maybe charger specialties?

I don't think they do, BEA maybe?

you can buy the chrome rocker with arm cheap enough.

I believe Classic has them for $25 or so...I nearly ordered one last night and then realized the free shipping only applied for orders of $299+

Where?

I saw them listed by "Vans Auto" but I wonder if these are not just a bunch of junk (the whole unit, not just the chrome part).

Vans is good, I bought stuff there.

Cool.


Well in the meantime I would also like to find the chrome with rocker part and load up a few.   I also need the metal band that goes on the back.   Am gonna try to repair my original at some point.

Van's wants $140.    Classic less than $30.     Do you get what you pay for?

Maybe I can buy the cheap one and cannibalize what I need....

I think it's worth trying. Just install it a see if it works okay.

I suppose it can't hurt...

So disappointed.   I really botched it.

Ordered two of these.  They look great.  I guess we will see....

Orders two of these.  They look great.  I guess we will see....

Cool...I may pop for one when I have everything pre-wired.  Let us know how you like it.  Looked like a good piece to me, although I was surprised by the reasonable price, lol.

Made in Taiwan.  That's better than China I guess.  Lol

I don't know, I think now its probably about the same.

Well, at worst I can transfer the chrome over to my original switch assembly.
