murrayarnold Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Help required. I have a list of a dozen things to do to the car. One, which has been a major annoyance for years, is that i have the wrong size light switch. The size of the hole in the steel work is 35mm x 12mm. Does anyone have one or know where I can find one?

Casar66 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I am not sure, but weren't there two types of switches and one was broader. And only that one is reproduced today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think that this might be the switch you need, I can only suggest, keep an eye on fleabay (.co.uk and .com), also maybe put a wanted out on here in the classifieds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Murrayarnold- is the problem that the hole in your metal dash is not big enough- if so I would recommend getting a Dremel with a grinding wheel to make the hole larger then your existing switch would fit wouldn't it?

murrayarnold Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I thunk your right. The hole in the wood is big enough and the metal one is smaller. I will have to widen it as you say. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Murray there should also be a small plastic clip to hold your switch in place (it fits onto the rear of existing switch) otherwise when youve made the hole big enough there wont be anything to stop your switch from simply falling out. See photo below for what this looks like Edited August 5, 2020 by michaeldavis39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have a NOS light switch (including a wide and a smaller bezel), It measures 20x49.5 mm at the sides sticking in the dash board. Not for sale, sorry. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul J Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have a spare switch 20mm x 49mm you are welcome to, unfortunately one of the corners has been chipped. Its a Clear Hooters switch if any good to £5 + cost of postage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I can do that and have a PayPal account, if you PM me your delivery details I will get a price for the postage. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The metal plate is just screwed onto the back of the wooden dash so if you feel adventurous you could pull the dash forward and unscrew it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
