Used many different switches for the reduction motor to turn the veedor root meter but never the nozzle switch. Anyone have a picture of one inside the nozzle with the trigger? Used a different reduction motor and mount for the MS 80 we are doing and would like to use this kind of a switch instead of the garage door type switch.
Thanks

I wonder craig how it would work to modify a aluminum nozzle such as a OPW , with a brake light switch and snake the wires inside the hose. Here is a 65 chevy switch maybe that would work for you.

Here is some smaller ones, just a thought.

Yes, that would work. The angle of the wire coupling or hook up is the key. Where would you suggest I could get those?
Thanks

If you are going to use a automotive brake light switch designed for 12 volt light blub load versus a 110volt electric motor. Make sure you consider the current (amperage) ratings of the switches.

I would highly recommend and seriously consider using a low voltage relay for the switch end of the circuit. That way if you end up with a short that electrifies the nozzle; no worries, as it would be on the low voltage side of the circuit.
