Superaquarama Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm looking for a lighting switch for my TR4A, I thought initially that this may do but on second thoughts probably not: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361158800462?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The problem is that I can't seem to find a 4A switch with a chrome stalk - the 4A switch operates the sidelights and headlights and has a headlamp flasher, but presumably this switch is just a dipswitch and flasher - am I right ?

Bill Bourne Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi Anthony I would say that switch is side, main lights and flasher, which should be correct for your car. I don't think it is a dip switch. Check your parts book/diagram to be sure best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hot-growler Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 hi this is the switch for a 72 TR6 (item 108). side lights main beam and pull back to flash. It will have a black stalk. Maybe you could swap stalks? Steve. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID600242 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superaquarama Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Many thanks, Bill and Steve. It looks as though it should do the job, then. I'm trying to avoid the dreaded floor dipswitch so, provided this has a flasher, I can use a Hella changeover relay to make it work as a dipper. The pic actually shows it as having a chrome stalk but, if not, I can always send it back or use a different stalk as you suggest. The overdrive and indicator switches are chrome stalked, so it has to be made to match somehow or other ! Cheers, Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have a nos one like the above for sale if required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi Anthony, if you find it has a black stalk don't panic. The black may be heatshrink or a thin coat of paint with Chrome (or similar) underneath. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superaquarama Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks, Neil, but unfortunately read your post just after ordering the eBay switch ! If it doesn't have the chrome stalk (or lurking underneath, as Roger suggests), I'll get back to you - it should be here on Tues or Weds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superaquarama Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Just a note to say that the switch arrived today and seems fine - has the chrome stalk and the headlight flasher. This came from Chase MG, but Neil above has a NOS one which may be of better quality than my repro item (not that there seems anything wrong with it).
