Continuing the theme of switches and alike, the next job on the list was to mount the internal ignition switch. I made the little bracket below from some offcut steel sheet we had lying around. It wasn’t really very stiff so I added the returns you can see. To weld it to the chassis I drilled three M9, (the nearest drill bit to me at the time), holes into the upper part and then welded through.
On a lighter note it was the first outing of the sparkly new auto dimming welding mask. We used to have one before but I broke and we never bothered to replace it as we had an old fashioned perma dark one. I have to say it makes it much easier, especially if your hands shake like mine and you end up trying to spark up in the middle of the air!!
