Wow, thanks to this thread I was able to get my Thing light switch working again. The headlamps only worked when you touched the switch just right. The bakelite board was cracked, but I was able to crazy glue it back together. Then I discovered the smaller switch plate's nub had worn all the way down, so I had to fab another one out of a soft, nubbable metal. It looked janky as heck, but it works! The rheostat coil was non-existent, but I don't expect I will be blinded by the dashboard lights at their highest setting.

Thanks Ray!

This really helped me out!
Learning how to get the shaft out was key.
Any way to get this posted in the Tech Tips for Bay Window Bus? ( That's where I looked first)
Thanks Ray!
