    Default Thermal cutout switch for motor wanted

    I have a Brook Crompton Betts 1/2 hp single phase motor, with a broken thermal switch.
    This is the one attached by 2 screws, with a red press button and RESET moulded into the plastic cover surrounding it.
    It's just the RESET moulding that's broken. The rest of the switch is OK, but I can't attach it without that part.
    I wonder if anyone has a similar but dead motor with this part intact, and could sell it to me?

    Just bridge out the thermal overload. If you really want a overload, then buy one of them cheap plugin units, only cost a few bucks

    BCB.COM.AU they have a email for contact section which will point you towards an electric motor rewinder which can solve your dilemma.

    I contacted bcbsales.com.au, who were kind enough to provide me the plastic cover for free.
    They are now in my "Good guys" file.

    Thanks for the tips.

    A good result. Thanks for letting us know.
    It makes a refreshing change to hear of an Aus company that wants to help. I'll bookmark their site for future reference.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
