Chimaera Otter switch
Discussion
I recently purchased a new otter switch. When I can to connect the twin wiring plug I found that the distance between the spade terminals of the new Waller switch was 17mm. compared to 10mm on the existing Elmwood switch,consequently the plug would not fit so I cut it off and replaced it with two female spade terminals-no big deal.
When I mentioned this in my feedback to the supplier they countered by saying the Waller switch was an original replacement and I should not complain because the wiring on my '98 Chimaera is obviously not original because there has never been a twin wired female plug fitted to the otter switch. However on page 133 of Steve Heaths book The Griffith and Chimaera-second edition the picture clearly shows the Elmwood switch with the plug connected.
So is the supplier right and Steve Heath and I wrong or is there anyone else out there that has this non original plug fitted?
Mod note - edited to remove supplier name, to comply with Name and Shame rules.
