I have three limit switches the bottom one is for the 67 RS that much I know, the other is missing the ground wire, so i dont think its for a 67 camaro RS, the next one has some kind of lever brackets? Does anybody know what the other two switches are for? I searched the corvette parts and didnt find anything that came close.Thanks in advance.

These are basically the larger micro switches. My first thought is they were used on electric headlamp doors. Seen them on many applications of headlamp doors. They are generic as I replaced one on my undercounter trash compactor. Limit switches. Most all have 3 connectors. All the ones I worked with had the Cherry name on it. Also called "E" series "snap contact" switches.

...just was ZDLD17 said. These same switches were used in many household appliances. Actually the '67 RS switch IS (exactly) the same as the door switch used in many Kenmore driers. :thumbsup:
