This was on an e-bay auction.

Supposedly pre 356-A fog light switch.

(IMG:http://i4.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/d6/c2/44_1_b.JPG) (IMG:http://i1.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/d6/cb/cf_1.JPG)

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.

I'll keep looking.

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.

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.

Lucas toggle switches

Very stylish, but wouldn't introducing this into a Bosch system make the headlights go on and off without warning? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

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?
