    Default Circuit Breaker Base Indentification?

    I have 2 HD circuit breaker bases, 48-60 style(late style points), with a cutout opposite
    (180 degrees almost exactly) to the cable post slot. Both cutouts in both bases are 3/16 deep from the bottom up and 2in. long. The cutouts appear to be machined or stamped in and the one seems to still have cad plating in the cutout. Is this factory or was it modified for a reason?

    Thanks. Bob Rice 6738

    K-Model and early Sportster with the cutout for case clearance.

    Bob!

    If you mean a Big Twin timer like the one shown in the attachment,
    I have no idea.

    So those are "housings" and not "bases in my previous post, but I would still like to know what model had the control slot on the opposite side.

    And what is a "security token" that prevents me from editing my post?

    Thanks in advance,

    Cotten,
    What I have are (I thought) Big Twin or SV as described on page 391 in Palmers. Circuit Breaker Bases not Circuit Breaker Shaft Housings. The slot is there for the cable adjusting post and they are installed. I have an additional cutout as previously described. These must be for K model or early Sportster as Rub mentioned? ? Thanks.

    Bob!

    As I posted the second time, I would like the odd 'housing' identified.

    As for your point bases, without a picture I would suspect that they are '65 models, if the 'cut-outs' are arcs on the top of it that would allow adjustment upon the two studs that attached the base to the housing.
    (I hope to attach a pic later, if I can come up with a 'security token' to allow it...)

    Bob!

    For lack of a "security token", I must post again with this pic of a '65-only "base" to the right of a '66 or later
    "base".

    Hope this helps...

    PS: Still hopeing for an answer about my odd "housing"!

    Cotton,
    I am new to the Forum so I wasn't sure how to post a picture. But here goes, hopefully it will clear up what I described in the original post. Thanks for the input. Not sure if attaching photo correctly. Bob 10.3.10 001.jpg10.3.10 002.jpg

    Your attachment is fine Bob, and as I said, those are K or early Sportster.
