Oddball part for my Wesumat.

[I.B. Washincars]

I have a 4 year old Wesumat Softwash that I need a part that Mark VII does not furnish. It has a power disconnect on the wall near the umbilical chain. The handle on the cover is connected to the switch inside by a plastic coupler, which is broken. Mark VII now uses a different kind and I will need to buy a whole new disconnect when I only need what is probably a 2 buck part. The plastic coupler connects the two square metal shafts in the pics. Anyone have an idea where to get one?

Have you tried www.mcmaster.com ?
I have been using them over Grainger lately. There web site is much easier to navigate and there prices seem reasonable.

You can't epoxy it back together? My guess is that there is no one that sells "parts"

I would try the parent company Washtec in Germany if Mark7 can't help you ( http://www.washtec.de/index.php?id=2&L=1 ). I've got a similar switch at my auto. Cheers.

I have a new disconnect that came with my MarkVII Choice Wash. I didn't use it. Looks really similar to the one in the pic. If you want it make me a offer.

Is there a mfg name on any of the switch parts, or did your mfg sterilize it before they sold it to you?

Nothing special about that disconnect, but I bet it is a pretty penny from Europe, even in depreciated euros. I wouldn't go through MARK VII without checking through a local supply house or a place like automation direct

If its in the equipment room, super glue/epoxy an open end wrench on the stud and call it even.

Pat, I know a guy that has recently taken a Wesumat out. Do you have your part yet or do I need to check with him?

No, I haven't gotten it fixed yet.
