Why do various Mini shops in Oz continue to sell the switch pictured as a GAE131? It is Jag or something, not Mini.

Thanks for the pic Classic Motoring, and you are not the only ones I'm picking on.

THIS SWITCH SCREWS IN, BUT DOES NOT WORK in a Mini remote box.
The plunger is too big diameter, so it hits the spring not the actuating rod. No worky.

Twice lately I have had to source S/H original switches instead. Thanks, John Smidt.

Thanks Kev and John (for supplying the correct working switch)

Worked first go correct plunger pin length (my sealing washer was 0.031" thicker so I added this to the pin length)
