Sorry, I've scoured my hangar and can not find the switches I offered to

I have a complete system, never installed, that I picked up somewhere
back in the early 90s. It includes two micro switches, a battery
connector for a 9-v radio battery, a piezo horn, and an ON/OFF
switch. It's all wired together, but can be taken apart to use a
switch in your own installation. Frankly, I'd wire it into ship's
power without a switch. Just one more thing to forget.

Send me your address and I'll send it to you for free (assuming I can
locate it, I think I know where it is). I'll need postage if you're
not in the US.

Des anyone know a source for a replacement?

Thanks,

My current set up is for a micro. I was just going to duplicate what
was there. I'm not sure how to set up the reed?

Thank you Dan, that is a very generous gesture and I truly appreciate it. I have a L-nav as one of my flight computers and as I understand my manual it also can be used as a gear up warning but. I don;t understand how to use it. I also have thought about the opportunity for the switch failing and having to fly with gear down.

Since my knowledge of how the wiring is weak I choose to just replace the existing switch.

Thanks again Dan,

Dennis
