hello
I have had some luck fixing the headlight switches, by taking them appart by carefully bending the little tabs on the side enough to get the bottom cover off, and then cleaning everything up inside, and re-packing with electrical grease. I removed the breaker that is located inside the switch, as it is the cause of most of the problems I find. Once the switch is all cleaned up , you usualy can bend the tabs enough with a small hammer and a punch to make them hold the bottom on again. If that doesn't work clamp it on, and then use some good epoxy or something like polyurathane glue to hold it securely togeather. Then install the switch with a couple of relays for the high and low beams so it only has to carry the current for the relay. This worked great on my 67.
Has anyone else tried this?
