1959 convertible. This the remote trunk release used in the convertible to trip solenoids to open the trunk. It is a momentary switch. I think I can repair this - in fact have to since no one seems to have one in either new or used condition.
From the photos the PO put in sheet metal screws apparently to repair the switch contacts. At present if the screws are removed and probes are inserted and the key button is activated electrical contact can be established. However there is a sweet spot that is difficult to get. The barrel revolves freely. In the third picture I think the circled part is a registration mark to establish the clocking of the switch. Has anyone else observed this and if so what is the proper clocking. Otherwise trial and error will have to suffice. Any suggestions on how to repair the holes that had the screws. Thanks.....
