Villiers headlamp switch
« on: September 16, 2025, 07:20:59 AM »
Bit slow here, need something to git thungs movin agin ?

Anyone care to explain the Villiers headlamp switch ?
Waratah/Excelsior 125cc circa 1945

I thought it was a Miller, but new/replacement has a chrome ring around it.
And would be (slightly) too big to fit ??
What retains it - a large wire circlip ?

I'm only slow because I'm spending too much time in the shed doing a 50-year service on my recent acquisition... the clue is that it has more grease points that any bike I've ever encountered.

This headlamp is 5 1/2 ", and the switch hole is 1 3/4 "
Anyone know what (Miller ? ) switch this is likely to require. ?

Dunno Leon, tell us ....
