Spoiler. Microswitch

[dragon green 5]

I’m after a working spoiler microswitch, or where I can get a replacement?

Maplins used to do them, but they no longer stock them

Has anyone else found another source

You can 100 percent still get them online someone on FB posted about them .

I’ve spent hours looking, I have the old part numbers for the Maplin version, and the OE one, I’ve found some in China, but would rather someone who has “found” the correct part

Someone else said about rs they list a few thousand switches, all with their amp ratings, but no actual sizes !
If someone has ordered before, there must be a part number

Part number on picture above ? Call Farnell tomorrow ?

Lol, out of stock

Is it possible to carefully open it and repair it?

Luckily there’s someone on farcebook that is rebuilding and selling the spoiler mechanism’s, I asked where he gets the switches from and he posted this


You just have to take the levers off.
I’ve had them delivered and soon as I get time I’ll do it.
I’ll then do a how-to and tag it onto the spoiler build how-to

That's a great find - let us know how you get on. Looks like they come in minimum lots of 10.

Can't believer that there's an important part that costs less than £50!!
