Topic: key switch repair

Hi everyone,
Would anyone have a pic or diagram of the internals of the battery key switch assembly.
 A few weeks back I stripped mine to replace the tumblers in the key barrel and I now realize I have deleted the pics from
my camera ...a pic of the underneath would be helpful .

Hope this is of some help.

Hi Chas, i am trying to re-use the original key switch on a non original battery...i made a battery cover and bought a Maplins key switch to switch on 2 relays which in turn power the lighting and motor circuits, it works very well but it's as ugly as sin and it's not original, so i stripped the Sinclair switchand changed the lock tumblers for some  NOS British Leyland locks in my spares bin.It now works as it should but how can i use it to switch on the power ???Is there an alternative you can supply ??

Hi why can't you use the original key switch.. Any chance of some photos ..

The latest C5 I am building will be using the original key switch also the rest  will be as close to 100% original as I can get it ..
