Brake Light Switches 52-71

Postby JerrryR » Thu Jan 31, 2019 5:53 pm

Hi All,
Please post any criticisms or comments about the new OSKRG Bulletin #8 on Brake Light Switches 52-71 that I recently distributed to the OSKRG mailing list. Hopefully we can get Dave to post the draft copy in the Technical Section soon for those of you who didn't get an emailed copy. It is 8 pages, I will try to show it here in 3 posts also. In the "Notes column of the Bulletin are listed my thoughts and things that I am unclear about. Your help with sorting these things out will be greatly appreciated. Once all input has been received I will make the corrections and get a final copy back to Dave.
Thanks,
JerryR

Getting some input already. Lloyd with "Mostly Ironheads" in Canada provided a nice picture of the 71900-70 front brake switch shown below, I'll add it to the Bulletin later.

Dave C brought up the change from parkerized to cad somewhere between 59 and 61? If anyone can narrow that down it would be appreciated.

1963 Parts Catalog - Index #6 should be a 3959 5/16-18 x 9/16
Where did the 3840 1/4-28 x 1-1/4 come from? Must have been those 3-martini lunches.

The plastic part I show in the 67PB as 72005-67 I believe is incorrect at least as far as being Harley OEM. Dave C has provided a great picture of what I believe to be PN 72005-67 that appears in the 67 model year. If anyone has an NOS one with or without the package a good picture of it would be appreciated.
