Vincent, this is a photo the switch.

The earlier ones had a rounded switch handle as shown below on my 1937RH. (ignore the dust)

Note: The bakelite covers from the earlier to the later switches are not interchangeable.
I tried to replace a broken cover on an earlier switch with the later cover and it did not fit, even though they appear similar.

James.
Check out Vintage Replica in Czech Republic. They are not cheap but they are the best replica money can buy.
I have one on my 1932 Ariel.

WOW
Look at the prices on the levers .... look the business though .....
Maybe I should spalsh out on getting them to make me up a correct set for my WNG ... ?

Save me trawling the autojumbles or a decent brass left hand double lever...

I see some brass levers from India on Ebay, worth a try ??
Somebody have any of these ?

On more or less the same theme; did someone try out the new girder front forks they have on offer ?

A friend bought some brass levers, from India, for his Velo, the quality looks ok and the price was good. I don't know how similar they are to originals fitted to Ariels, I suppose it depends on your opinion of originality v practicality. Keith

Yes they are Eero, but they don't fit, except the really late (I think nacelle) Ariels.
They're too deep for tanks.
