I purchased a used original overdrive switch when mine failed. That was 20
years ago and still works outstanding. I not familiar with the aftermarket
reproductions as far as quality.

Ola, all!
I retrofitted my '59 3A restoration with an A overdrive. That to me is the
best improvement on my car, which also includes a Pertrinox, the upgraded rear
oil seal, a wood steering wheel, four tandem brakelights, and a front swaybar
that I intend to sell on e-bay because--despite the list opinions--I simply
don't feel the need for since I don't drive that hard into corners.
Anyway, I bought varous electrical OD switches for the dash, and all of them
eventually failed. Then I ordered an Aftermarket OD switch from one of the
Big 3, and now I find I have to wiggle it to make it kick in.
Were the original switches that flimsy?
