TA starter switch

Post by Rob Reilly » Fri Mar 24, 2023 2:21 pm

Is there anyone that can post a picture of the starter switch for TA? I believe it goes directly on the starter?
This is the only picture I could find. Is it right? How is it connected to the starter motor cable?

I'll try to find a photo. I may have one of a Riley switch, which is basically the same.

The pull cable slides through the nut on the arm, just like a TC switch. There's a screw (could be metric on a repro) that goes into the nut from the side closest to the camera.

The battery feed cable goes on the brass boss, and a BSF bolt threads in to secure it.

The switch is fastened to the starter with three screws (BSF I believe) and these are a grounding path so ensure the threads are clean!
