Headlight switch adjustment
I just acquired a 1929 Phaeton Restored. Headlight switch off is at 8 o'clock. All positions work. How to adjust off position to 6?

Re: Headlight switch adjustment
Does the wiring harness exit the switch housing at the bottom, ie at 6 o'clock?
If so, I'd guess your switch rod is twisted slightly. Or the lever was re-attached to the rod with the alignment off during a previous repair. |

Re: Headlight switch adjustment
The headlight switch cover has a little tab on the outside of the part that fits up into the end of the steering gear box. The extension from the gearbox has a notch that the tab on the switch housing fits into to line it up. That notch should be straight down at 6 o'clock too. Hard to describe without a picture.
