    '71 911S Pedal Assembly: What Is This Switch For?

    Restored my pedal assembly with new bushings powder coat etc...
    It's been a while since that was done. Now trying to figure out what
    this switch is for? It looks like it would serve a purpose... but it doesn't
    seem to have contact with anything. Does anybody have a photo to
    show if I am missing something on my cluster?? Please. ;o)
    Thank much.

    Yes, you are missing a large washer on the shaft that actuates the switch.

    The one large nut is hidden behind the washer,
    And you are missing an important cotter pin too. (With another washer missing)

    Awesome!! Thanks for spotting that. ;o) I hadn't quite finished assembling it all... since I figured
    there was a part missing, that would make the switch work. SO hadn't put the washer & cotter pin
    back. Good eye! ;o)

    Nick,

    After time (45+years) sometimes those bakelite switches brake right below the 2 hole mounting ear... ask me how I know...

    I epoxied mine back together in a parking lot... It's still there today....
