lights/window/hazard switches

[degz]

Anyone know the source of the accessory switches on Mk1 Tasmin?
I need a new hazard-warning switch and some of the others have dodgy terminals.
and while you thinking what about the fuel level sender in the tank. will any do?

Talk to the Tazzie racers... They usually strip this stuff out and are willing to sell to feed their motor racing habit...

Got my switches from a scrap TR7, They are not all the same, but they are a modular construction so you can mix'n match most bits. Be careful with the outer bit with the lettering, try and keep the original so the lettering style is correct. watch out for the number of pins on the back and try not to crack parts as you dissassemble...They were intended to be clipped togrther one way, never "serviced", and to be exchange units only....and to last about a week after the warranty ran out !!

Degz,
Giz a call I may have one or two lying around. Sender unit? Won't the one from your current tank work?

Does this also apply to the Series 2 350i? I am looking for a new three position heater fan switch.

Cheers

The heater switch is notorious for burning the contacts and/ or melting the plastics!
If you can get it stripped and it's just the contacts, you can often get away with just cleaning them up (wife's nail file ).
On my 390, I added a relay to the high speed position so that it's the relay that takes the load, not the switch. Should last forever now...

rimmers only sell a 3 posn switch with head lamp logo on front and thats £25 , try to repair the other, mines just melted the contact and pushed it through slightly so i built it up with solder, seems ok now.

Just to chip in if its any use.

The rocker 5 pin window switches on the tunnel by the brake lever on earlier Wedges I sourced from an after market electric window installer for around £3 each. They were a direct swap, no furtling needed.
