I Can Beleive I Did That . . .

Unknown

Attachments :

After the motor was installed and everybody went back home on Sunday, I

decided to plod along reassembling the Hudson. Now I'm a big fellow, and

sometimes have to squeeze into restricted areas. One of the items I was

working on seemed easiest to get at from the interior of the car with the

floorboards removed, so I bent over the runningboard and into the car from

the right side through the open door. In the process of straining to reach

out with a wrench, my head knocked the light switch on the dash and snapped

the elegant pot metal handle off, ting!

In shock, I went over and sat down for a while. I have never seen or

heard of a mid twenties Hudson with both handles of that switch intact and I

had always felt very lucky to have an intact example. Oh, I was CAREFUL of

it, the cracks in the handle were quite evident and I always fingered it VERY

gently. Now it was broken like every other example I know of.

What now? Are these switches available anywhere? Hah! Does anybody make

parts for them? Does somebody repair them? Is there some sort of glue that

might hold the two bits of pot metal back together again?
