SM5 panel

[Stuart Giles]

Shouldn't be an issue with the contacts as long as you cleaned them OK -the ones on this panel were just rubbed over with some fine wire wool. The brass tracks on these switch panels are often broken. You can just see the break on this one about halfway down the track that goes to the ignition warning lamp. I soldered a short length of Copper wire across the break.



The tracks on the rear are also prone to breakage, would be well worth checking. IIRC, Tony Betts has had these tracks  remade.

These switch panels look good once they've had a bit of 'kitchen table' restoration. This is the one above finished and ready for fitting.
