Electrical switch Smoke grenade control box
« on: August 07, 2017, 02:15:16 PM »
Hi

Need some help finding the push button switches on the grenade cannister control box of my SRV SF - trying to build a replica because for some strange reason I can't buy the original

22mm hole, about 26mm width

thanks in advance

Hi Scott,

I assume you have the box ?

If you just need the switches, the black ones amongst these look similar: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/282265652374

I searched '22mm push button switch'

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete,

yeah found a cast metal box that is very close to correct dimensions,

the buttons on ebay are close but not quite right, 22mm is the size

the correct ones are a bit old school these days

Really? They won't sell them, presumably a controlled item?

BTW Krauss-Maffei are an old, old company. In the early years of the 20th they used make 2ft gauge Steam Locomotives, with many being used in Qld cane railways and NSW on the Burrinjuck line. Of course, all that changed once they supplied German military railways in WW1! Didn't know they were still in business.

Interesting!

And yes  obviously a controlled restricted item and coming out of the US unde ITAR regs.

But I only want one!!

Thanks Aland

Close but no cigar!

Couple of them close

I'm thinking might need to find some old machinery control panel

Thanks for looking.

Scott

most industrial electrical pushbutton switches are 22mm or 30mm hole size, those switches look Allen Bradley in design, try the online catalogues to see whats close, Farnell online or RS online have a large selection
