meoff,
I have NOS Headlight Lock Switches and Hazard Switches in stock and available. I also have one of each that are from an actual Bradley GT II Electric that are good old stock unused. I have the remaining 3 switches (Headlight, Fan, Wiper) in used good condition from another GT II Electric which are also available. I also have an original Instrument panel, and 4 of the 5 gauges (missing tachometer) which are unused though slightly faded on the face from sun exposure.
The NOS Switches that I have in stock (all guaranteed to be new old stock free of defects) are as follows:
4 each Lucas 39814 Hazard Light Switch (Bradley Part # 10914) date code 0876 (August 1976)
3 each Lucas 39831 Headlight Lock Switch (Bradley Part # 10912) date code 0901 (September 2001)
If I can be of help let me know.
I will be listing a good selection of Bradley GT II and GT II Electric parts this coming weekend. Some of the parts are very difficult to find all original unused parts (lots of body and hardware parts.
I will be out of town for 3 days, however you can call me at 1-408-591-5035 if you would like to discuss.
Thank You, Michael

Hey Dan the link you gave me , I have tried to contact them many times but I never get a reply...The main switch i need is the headlight switch, I've tried many switches from Radio Shack but I can't get them to work right...They will turn the lights on but the keep going up and down without stopping...Looks like they are head banging lol....

I do not think the headlight recycling has anything to do with the switch. The motor mechanism must have some way to set the limits. I think I remember someone saying that the BII originally used a modified winshield wiper motor or something and it was a pain to keep them from cycling. Changing to linear actuators will make it more dependable and easier to adjust. Just letting ya know what I have heard - I have an original GT, so it is not by personal experience. Warmest....

Headlights should have 2 limit switches on the body near the headlight motor. There is a "Z" shaped rod that Idea in a slot to actuate them. Like others have said linear is the way to go. The stock system is flimsy and the headlights have a bounce to them. Too much bounce and they will cycle. Check my build thread for pics etc re theheadlights. "new member done saving..... bradleygt.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=474&page=2Headlight actuator installed, Control circuit built and working just like the original. This wiring results in the lights opening if the headlights sw is on AND the lock sw on. They will close if either sw is turned off. There is zero parasitic draw on the battery when turned off. By supplying the headlight sw with IGN controlled 12v instead of constant BATT 12v, the headlights will automatically turn on and open when the car is started {if the HL and lock switch are on} and close when the car is turned off. UPDATE: A fellow builder asked me the following:My actuator has 5 wires coming out: Red, Black, White, Purple,Yellow. Do I ignore the others and just use the red and black? Yes, you ignore the remaining 3 wires. Only the red and black are used. They are connected to the relays so that when power is removed from the "lock" wire, the headlights retract into the body.
