Griff Window switches in an 'S' series
Discussion
I am having the interior retrimmed on the V8S and am thinking of changing the window switches to the newer Griff ones so I can use the Leven covers to match the other Alluminium dials/Stalks/gearknob/Handbrake handle I have on order!
Has anyone on here changed their and if so is it a relatively simple changeover? Also does anyone know the part number???? Or from exactly what year of Cavalier they came from??
Much appreciated.

I was looking at this option and found these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=2461347644 ( The Griff used vauxhall cavailer switches but I have since found a one off set of chrome rocker switches which I am going to fit instead)
Not sure how easy it will be to pull apart and fit the leven covers but at £4 it’s worth a shot. I tried breaker yards for the part and they wanted £15

Cool. How do you wire them up..?
And what would you use to fill the gap...? (the current ones look bigger than the replacements..)
LeeBee has done this so I have mailed him for advice on whats involved in changing them over.
I am retrimming the whole car so filling in shouldnt be such a problem, although I shouldnt think there is much difference in size. I am going to Offords at lunch time so will measure them!!

LeeBee has an S2... so his are dash mounted, and a similar shape.
The ones in the S3 onwards are transmission tunnel mounted and rectangular... hence my question.
Keep us informed though..!
I remember from my S2 that they are dash mounted but they were still oblong and not oval. You are right though they are a little smaller than the S3/V8S ones thinking about it!! Hopefully LeeBee can help if not I will leave it to a mechanic!
I will let you know once its done

My window switches are modified Vauxhall copies with Leven outer surrounds (I ditched the inner switch cover as I set up the illumination on them (changed it from orange to green though!)
This was Lee's e-mail reply to me when I asked about them last year, if it helps any.

Podie I have now checked and they are the same size length and width wise, so shouldnt be too difficult to fill in with the vinyl!
I have also been told by TVR-Power that they should be easy to fit as the wiring is apparently the same.
I am going to order some and will let you know!
