It is not orientation sensitive (up, down, sideways doesn't matter). The only thing that counts with that switch (assuming wiring and display panel OK) is the interaction between the magnet (on the lapbar, so it rotates) and the sensor (mounted solid to the ROPS frame). And I don't know what the extra piece of metal might be. I just disassembled carnival bars on a 751 and a 763 and swapped them. The sensors stayed put, and the magnets came off with the bars as I recall. And as I said, I think there were a couple of protrusions either side of a mounting bolt on something. The protrusions fit in a slot to provide the alignment between the magnet and the sensor. And when you get that exercise down pat, the same technology is used in the seat switch on many older machines, although if you have a G model I don't think it has a seat switch. Some folks, me included, got tired of messing with shimming the seat switch so it worked reliably. As Tazza has said, just remove the sensor and magnet, play with them to see where the sweet spot is between the magnet and the sensor, and glue the sensor in place. Being less brave, I wired mine in place, but it's working swell now! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ---Bobbie-G</p></blockquote><p></p>
