Ignition barrel adapter to stater switch

That's the idea I had.

I like your idea. I now have two lines of thought on fabricating the adapter. I’ll try both and see which is easier or more robust or both!

It’s hard to believe that nobody has come forward with this problem before,

I find it very bizarre!

Yeah, strange to think you are the only one! 🤷‍♂️

Erm. How do you remove the solution tag? That post is far from the solution as the first stage of the process is at the machine shop at the moment.

We're all confident that you'll keep at it until you come up with a solution, so I'd say the tag is well deserved. 😉

Strangely enough it has disappeared now 🤷‍♂️

Well, I wish Deity would show his or her face and come and give us a hand!?… 🤣

Having tried to file the outer flats onto the adapter I ended up with a bit of a failure. It was always going to be trial and error reproducing this part. I have gone back to my local machine shop and they are producing another blank but, this time with the outer flats milled onto it. I had a very good result with making a half moon shaped piece to fit in the internal bore to form the inner ‘D’ shape on the first blank which was a nice snug fit on the shaft protruding from the ignition barrel. The plan is to reproduce this again but, this time the outer flats will already be done. Fingers crossed I’ll have the solution completed soon.

Ta-dah! Finished it…

Many thanks to @fjmuurling for coming up with the idea of making the half moon shape to create the inner ‘D’.

thx Grahame.
