rcreweread Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi folks - I need to recover an H frame from a 74 car - it has a switch in the middle hole which I am really struggling to remove as the knob is proving very stubborn. The plunger will go down but the knob just wont move I've included a photo of the worn image on the knob, the ID of which I have been unable to find, so can anyone identify the switch, what it does and advise if I can get a new one, in case it breaks in my attempts to release it. Thanks as always Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Interior light switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boogie Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I had a real issue with the one I had. It's the same as all of the other switch heads and has the small hole you need to use to depress the retaining button before it comes off. I've used this switch as the manual override for my electric fan, as my car didn't have the interior light on the tunnel and the lights under the dash just come on when opening the doors.

michaeldavis39 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 It's strange that Triumph put an interior light switch when there was no central light on the tunnel--did it originally switch the tiny lights on underneath the dash either side on the CR/CF cars??

Mark69 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) The central light on the tunnel had it’s own built in switch. My 6 had no h frame ,the one I purchased had the switch fitted , kinda threw me for a while until I realised later 6’s had under dash courtesy lights.

rcreweread Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi all - thanks for info and I can see I can get a new knob, so I may have to get brutal to get it off as it stubbornly refuses to move - wll leave it well soaked with penetrating oil today and then find another pair of hands to help, as trying to push pin in, pull knob with lots of force and hold the H frame tight, all at the same time is beyond my single abilities!

250 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Probably glued on had that before. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark +1 Rather than force the knob off and risk damaging the switch I cut the plastic knob with a Dremel and some plywood shielding to protect the upholstery George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
