Wipac Triconsul grub screws

Forums

Hello everybody!

I was able to find an original Wipac Triconsul switch ( dip, horn, flash) for a 68 Commando. Only thing missing is the grub screw and rectangular nut for fixing the switch to the handlebars. Any idea where to get one? Anyone selling spare aprts for these switches?

This screw (witch I have no idea what looks like) is most certainly a

BA threaded one and as such somewhat difficult to find.

Is it in any way possible for you to find out the dimensions of this item ?

A picture perhaps ?

Regards

That's new to me. Really an indicator switch?

I've found some NOS Tricon by using this search: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=tricon&LH_PrefLoc=3&_sop=10&_dmd=2&_vxp=mtr&_osacat=35558&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=tricon&_sacat=35558

A lot depends on how soon you want to be able to fit your Tricon. If you don't need it for a while, let you friends know that you need this part, and someone may have a dead Tricon or Ducon which still has the missing parts you need. You may find them at a jumble, or by advertising on a forum.

On the other hand, you may want to fit it asap. Find a set of BA taps, make a rectangular washer and do the necessary. You can make the grub screw by buying a bolt of the right thread, cut a slot in it and cut to length.

Oddly enough, I've just been having a clearout and have found what looks like an original tricon with a couple of parts missing (ie one button) but includes the grub screw and its plate. Although the screw is probably not original as it is a socket head.

I think the switch is original as it's marked "Wipac" "England" etc on the plastic moulding.
