Thanks Keith, will keep looking.

Any ideas what else they were used for?.......I'm guessing any/everything!

Cheers,

Darren, have them on my car for twin fuel pumps.
They were also used for twin cdi boxes.

Thanks Dougie,

That's my intended use.........sorry I wasn't clear, I meant for other non-Porsche applications to help with my search.

Cheers,

Originally used on many German cars in the '60's - including Porsche 356, 904, etc - plus a number of Mercedes ....

Your best bet is German ebay (search under 'Bosch Zugschalter')

I did find a batch of a couple of dozen (NOS) last year but fairly sure that they're all (long) gone -I'll double check tomorrow though.

Hi Daren.

Nice progress.

Have you looked at Bosch Automotive Tradition?

http://www.automotive-tradition.de/de/teile/index.htm

Looked at some Bosch switches for Lucy last year, before finding the right Porsche OE switch. With enough digging, I'd bet you'd find the switch and if you have the Bosch number your laughing.

All the best

Matt

The pull switches stocked/sold by Bosch nowadays are vastly inferior in quality & appearance compared to the 'originals' ...

Thanks for that Matt although now sorted.

Armed with Andy's German description I managed to buy a number of items on eBay.de....always good to have a few spares! :wink:

Not a great deal of tangible progress of late although I met with Gary Cook on Friday to go through final details and amass a sizeable list of everything else I need….final paint will commence on the shell next week and the plan is for the car to go to him the latter part of September to commence assembly :)

A few of my CDI kill switches arrived from Germany along with spare knobs…..quite like the white one which I may use to differentiate between the two….

Another question for the knowledgeable…

For early ST's running twin fuel pumps along with the CDI switches, where would additional switches have been situated?….I'd appreciate any photos or links.

Also, I need to source a pair of fuel pumps if anyone has one for sale?

Thanks for looking :)

Cheers,
