Emergency breakaway model on '07's

[nwhouston]

Does anyone know the specific brand and model for the emergency breakaway on the 2007 TM's? I have looked in the 2013 parts catalog from TM and don't seem to find it listed. I tried a search of posts on our forum and don't see any brand callouts. Thanks.

Aside from the spacing of the mounting screws, is there any reason to need an exact replacement? Although I don't know for sure, I wouldn't bet that TM had a "standard". On stuff like this, they sometimes used whatever they could get when they needed it, at the best price. Makes sense to me. So I'm thinking you have either lost or broken the pin, and would like to replace it without wiring a new switch into place? Again, makes sense to me.

On my TM, the switch is labelled "Bargman". I cannot find a part number. The switch itself is a black plastic block riveted to a thin metal plate, and the plate is attached to the TM frame with a single screw (so there are no spacing issues).

Bill, thanks for the info. I am hoping just to replace the pin as the switch itself seems fine. I am finding that each manufacturer (so far) has a different black plastic pin tip design to spread their particular switch plates apart as it is inserted. I tried one from Tekonsha that I though looked pretty close, but it would not spread the plates. Larry

Here's the pin that I have.

Since you have the switch body, does it say Bargman on the black plastic block? The Bargman catalog has only one entry for breakaway switches, part number 50-85-007, and it looks just like mine.

At some point, it may be easier to simply snip the leads at the existing switch, then solder in a new switch and use shrink tubing over the joints.

Thanks for these quick pix and leads. Bill's pic is the same as mine, so I will get the Bargman pin. Appreciate all the help. Larry
