Early hazard switch repair.

[gav240z]

This is really easy, basically I have had this broken switch for a few years. I got it cheap because it was broken.

The little plastic bit inside breaks. Which the spring sits into and has the 2 little plastic nubs that rock on the switch itself to turn hazards on and off.

I had been meaning to get a 3D printer for ages. And from the broken pieces I had left inside the switch figure out how to make another. But that never happened.

Good thing, someone made the plastic bit as part of a repair kit. It wasn't cheap with shipping but got here fast and it was a 5 min repair job. Always a win IMHO.

Basically place the spring in the back of it, apply the dialectic grease on the plastic nubs, slide it onto the metal part and then put the circuit bit back in place (it has tabs so you can only install it 1 way) and then use a set of pliers to crush the edges to hold it in place.

Voila working switch again for another 40-50 years. Let's hope!
