3 position switch/dial

PS:
What did you decide about the rear/spare wheel carrier set-up (your post from yesterday?).

Hi Roachie,

Looks like we'll have to cut off the locating lug and fit studs instead. We haven't had a chance yet to take the spare off and have a good look at exactly what's involved but it doesn't sound too complicated. Hardest part will probably be sourcing the right studs.

Just another job to do before we head off for our mid-year break. So far the list includes shovel/axe holder, fit up the spotties and an overhead console and into that the UHF, 27 meg, and voltometre. Oh yeah, and hubby has to transfer all his moving map stuff to the new laptop and buy a USB to serial convertor thingy. He also swore he'd have some polyairs fitted to the GU before the next trip too...so much to do, so little time!

Snap!!!

Gajm,

This is EXACTLY what we want the swith for. We have the same Jaycar voltage/temp gauge and main, aux and trailer batteries we want to monitor. Can you recall what tha Jaycar part no. was for the switch?

Sorry Melissa I don't know the part number, I just pulled the switch off to have a look, but there's no clue there. I did a search on the jaycar catalog and SR1210 looks like the one.

I originaly went down to the local Jaycar here who is just a dealer and has a very limited amount of Jaycar stock, and I searched the tubs untill I found one that did the job, (switched in 4 spots....it goes past 4 after I just put it back in tonight...oops, so I may have to search for a missing part when there is more light). The local dealer also have a lot of old dick smith stock left from when they were a dealer for them, so it could even have been a dick smith switch.

If it's any help mine has 3 pins in the centre (3 pole?) that I bent and soldered together and connected the jaycar meter to. The outside of the switch has 12 pins, so I had to use #2 for the main, #7 for the Aux and #12 for the camper trailer batt. That way it switches in the order of main, aux, camper and I don't need any labels on the switch. I left # 1 free because I wanted that position to be off. I hope this was of some use.
