obsessive behaviour?

last time i rebuilt this car, i wanted to lighten the pieces. time prevented this, so this time i felt it called for. due to the nature of the car i can only think it a good move to remove weight where ever possible. i am not happy with the job i have done on this switch, so i will fit for the time being,and source another. the replacement i will strip completely, and find more areas to drill. this picture was taken before i scrapped paint off centre slide switch area.
