Can someone please advise where I might be able to get a replacement plug for the overdrive switch on my '50 Pacemaker. It is bakerlite with four terminals (maybe the same as for other years etc).

Thanks all in advance

    Alistair Alistair, if you have the early 50 OD for your Pacemaker you should have the 4 pin model with the pin arrangement looking like an old radio tube. The later OD units used the Essex plug that looked very close to a headlight socket but had 4 prongs instead of 3. Check and see which you have.

    Thanks Hudzilla, The plug has four wires and recieves four flat pins from the switch behind the accelerator pedal. It is made of a ceramic type material (not barerlite as first mentioned). Make sense? I can post a photo when I return home later in the week if need be.

    You have the Essex type plug. They are a bit more plentiful than the previous type of OD plug which uses a radio tube type base.
