This was on an e-bay auction.

Supposedly pre 356-A fog light switch.



I'd like to find this switch elsewhere... or something similar (with the brushed aluminum bulbous look). I'd also like something with a bezel that's not just an ordinary Radio Shack toggle switch.

I need 3 of them.

Something like this switch from Painless wouldn't look right on a 914 dash, because of no bezel.

Try a marine supply store or website. West Marine, etc, etc....

Well... I think I can't find much more than this....



I kinda like the look of the old 356 switch...

I'll keep looking.

Fuel pump, fan blower, machine guns.

lol.

Going the racecar dash look?

got one for the flux capacitor?

No, since I'm not going to have heat, I'm going to remove the fan vent controls and put a panel there. I'd like to put an ignition switch and maybe three auxiliary switches there.

Thinking about it.

This switch is kind of neat... would follow the style of the Prototipo wheel.

your car - your stuff.

go gt style dash

Posted by: Qarl Apr 22 2006, 08:47 PM

I'm doing a pseudo style GT-dash. Going to keep the lower dash pad, but dry covering the dash face and the upper dash (between dash cap and windshield) with the charcoal perlon felt. Will be covering the rear firewall with this too.

British cars always have a bunch of toggle switches. How about someting like this:

You could go for the fighter pilot look.


Proton torpedos away!

Very stylish, but wouldn't introducing this into a Bosch system make the headlights go on and off without warning?

Lucas, the knight of darkness.

Ironically I never encountered a problem with my Lucas electrics on my spitfire, but my Bosch stuff has problems which noone has been able to diagnose or track down.

Perhaps it would be more reliable with Lucas components?
