Looks like it needs a lot of work!
Here it is back in the mid-1970s: 006.800.jpg (Size: 82.54 KB / Downloads: 304)

Thanks for the answers, from the parts book for a 1927 car I need a button that looks like this one and I will get another patent plate (magneto one smaller)
Cheers

Here is slightly poor picture of our early'28 layout, with contemporary dash light and underdash lidded cubby holes. I believe the original bits are how yours should be.

Measured from my chummy the hole is 8" in from o/s of dash and 4 7/8" up vertically from bottom edge of dash.If you get stuck I could help with a reconditioned round oil button.

You can also with a bit of fiddling get a Lucas SM3 switchboard to operate a coil ignition engine.

I assume it's centred on the steering column? (07-02-2020, 01:56 AM)Tony Press Wrote: You can also with a bit of fiddling get a Lucas SM3 switchboard to operate a coil ignition engine. I will lookout for an SM3 and give it a shot, I assume the SM3 puts an earth on the maggy to stop whereas the SM5 puts battery on the coil to go.
