New Brake switch for my front TLS Drum brake

Peter, do you have a lever with the mirror hole? Can you post a pic with a view from above?

I like it. I too don't want to drill and tap holes in my original lever set. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Couldn't find the Marquardt switch but looks like the Omron D2HW-C202M from Mouser will be about the same. $7.

Yes, these OMRON switches look very similar.
Got mine from this eBay seller, he sells worldwide:

Rivera, i know these levers from my 1970 BSA B44VS. They have the 7/8 inch distance from pivot to cable hole which is important for an effective front brake.
Maybe they where also used on early Commandos.
Andover Norton sells newly made ones which look very similar.

I have the same brake lever with choke on my 70 Commando.
Already ordered on of the switches an will give it a try.
Want to get rid of the clumsy stock switch, see my posts above
