Ignition switches explored!

Everything in this photo is H.D. as far as I'm aware.
Thought it might be of interest to those people restoring J models

What is that unit just above the ring of NOS 1925 only toolbox keys and below the 1926-28 dash? It doesn't look at all familiure. Is it the vacuum switch for a Remy 15?

Mark,
I wondered how many people would identify that and yes it is the one year only vacuum switch for the electric 1915 models.
It was made by Remy so does not appear in the parts books.

That picture is your 501K isn't it.

Sorry Bill but I don't know what 501K is, as it is not a comment used here in NZ

Whoops. In the States, a 501K is retirement fund I can set up that has tax advantages. The pile of bits in you photo has much value. ...bill in USA
