Hi all 10/74 HJ 1 Tonner, appears to be a bit of a bitza ! Chasing a replacement kickdown switch that mounts onto the accelerator pedal. Not looking for the "detent" type, its the earlier ?? type that looks like a brake light switch Cannot find a new one online anywhere  Thanks in advance Edited by user Tuesday, 5 September 2023 9:56:02 PM(UTC)

Can you get a photo of it? Most auto HQ-HZ and LH-LX should have the same switch from memory. |

No, the HQ-HJ have a kickdown switch which looks like a brake light switch, while the HX-WB have a 'slider' type switch the same as early Commodores. HQ-HJ see here: https://www.ebay.com.au/...tomid=&toolid=10050
HX-WB see here: https://www.holdspares.c...-cable-pedal-kickdown-s
I find that the later switch is more reliable & easier to adjust. Dr Terry Edited by user Wednesday, 6 September 2023 8:01:59 AM(UTC)

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Yes that’s right, I remember now. My 1976 HJ had the slide type, it was a 4.2 auto Kingswood ute. All my HQ’s were manual except the Deville and it had that button type. |

A Tridon Reverse Light Switch TRS022, with 2 thin 12mm * 1.5 locknuts works a treat
A Commodore cruise control switch is the correct thread & has both NO & NC contacts & does the job but is all plastic & looks a bit shit
