Lego fix for light switch

I tried to put the lights on recently and the switch would only go from off to side lights. So I used some violence on it and it promptly broke! Leaving me with the side lights stuck on.
I striped down the switch unit and found the 3 posn light switch was very sticky, I cleaned this off and tried to glue the broken plastic lever back together.
No luck, but I did have some inspiration and recognized that the plastic lever was about the same size as some Lego parts. I made the parts and stuck it in, job done (pics). The original switch was jammed on and it looked just the same - only a bit slacker.
This served me well until the replacement arrived today!

Now my son has his Lego back.

Are you sure it was your sons lego lol. Glad you got it sorted.

bodgery at its best, like it

now that's amazing

I think we should tell LR about his fred. Freelanders made of lego would be much betterer than the current build.

like it may have to get my boys some lego

I'm working on a lego vcu idea...

It has been said the original one was made from chocolate teapot.

My Lego switch was certainly stronger than the original but unfortunately it was a bit slack at the top end!
