Re: Gearbox Question
Its a long time since I did this but I think when you remove the bolt there is a spring and you havee to fit a rod down the center of the spring that will operate the switch. You need a calipers to work out the lenght of rod needed.

Re: Gearbox Question
Took a quick look tonight
Yes spring inside and as you said a plunger needed to operate switch
Need to source suitable piece and play around with length
Job for next few weeks
Other jobs to finish first before Sunday run
Thanks
