I'm looking for a junk overdrive switch that has a good lever still on it. After close inspection of mine I see that it's been broken and glued back together. I know it will break at some time. I also know that I could purchase a new aftermarket switch but I want my restoration to be as original as posible. I will purchase or trade for your switch. Please let me know if you have one.

When you do restoration long enough you learn that an old tooth brush can do many things...
Take a grinder and rough out the desired shape of the lever you are making.When you get real close
start finish sanding.Now drill a whole just a tiny bit smaller than the shaft you will put it onto.Finish it in black lacquer
and lastly warm up the shaft just enough to let you press on the new handle.Of course since you can still get a nice repo
you might just whip out the Visa.......
