Tutorial:Fix your selector switch

EDIT...

Problem solved, see post below for a quick and dirty tutorial.

Hope it helps!

Sorry for the crappy pics, my camera sucks. No macro focus.. :banghead:

So the small ball from the dog tag chain was the perfect fit for the spring in the selector switch. But it's a tad too big for the 3 little holes in the body to effectively give you that nice "click" sound when you hit each position.

So a simple small screwdriver from my mini screwdriver kit fixed that (Might have to use a round diamond bit in your dremel on a metal body). I just oversized the holes with the screwdriver in this plastic TM body.
See photo: just twist back and forth a few times


Now that beat up old switch is working perfectly and I'm happy with it. Though I might have to do the holes over again after I paint the body, but that's easy.


So for anyone who has lost their click, this might work for you. And if your switch is missing the spring, a flint spring from a Bic lighter is the same size, just needs to be cut to length ( a couple coils sticking out of the switch)

Yet another craptastic photo to show the height of the spring

OMG THANK YOU, I spazzed yesterday because I lost the spring while switching receivers.
