early 1919 Clum ignition switch

Post by SteveBoothroyd » Sun Apr 11, 2021 5:38 pm

I have an early 1919 CLUM pin type ignition switch that I am working on.
It has the cast switch lever and the back plate which is made of composite layers of cardboard is separating and has burn marks at some of the terminals.
The back plate has the following stamped: 10072 CLUM MILWALKEE PAT APPL FOR
I know that some of the suppliers have newly manufactured pin style back plates, however the location of the terminals is not the same as the CLUM switch that I have.
Does anyone know who manufactures the new replacement backplates?
I was hoping that I may be able to have one made.

Best regards,

Steve, I have one with a working key and partial ammeter. It needs work but may be worth a look. I’d call it very restorable. Tmorsher@icloud.com to reach me for pics.
