Early rocker wiper switch


Recommended Posts

I have the rocker switches on the dash for wipers and squirters

 

The replacements I bought do not fit

 

My dash has a metal bracket thing screwed in the back of the dash to hold the clips on the switches

 

Any ideas where I might get the units that fit?

Original clear hooter switch are very hard to get hold of , because of this they tend to be very expensive.

I have also heard or read somewhere the changing of the innards of New switches to the old switch cases, but you will have to research this.

Also recall someone one on the forum reconditioning these switches. Do a forum search may find what you are looking for.

Lee,

 

Presumably the replacement switches that you have obtained are Lucas rather than Clear Hooter. The fix for getting them to fit is to file the metal fixing bracket on the rear of the dash to make the gap wide enough. Unless you have money to burn this is the fix that is required.

 

cheers
