Anyone know where to get these from? The parts guide says these are from a Marina... which is wrong. The Leven site states that the aluminium covers they make fit the Vauxhall switch fitted to an S.

I'd like some aluminium switches or something better than the black plastic Lucas switches that were fitted as they spin round. Has anyone found anything better to replace these with?

They do look like old cavalier or astra switches but I don't know whether they are.

You should find that many rotary switches will fit the holes, just a case of shopping around and web browsing. I'd have a look for you but I'm at home on a 56k dial up

Try Europa Spares or Stafford Vehicle components.

Has anyone tried the aluminium ones from the Pistonheads site (Leebee??) They look much nicer than the plastic ones.

I agree Niels they do look nicer but if they are the same as the Leven ones I'd be a bit put off by paying so much money for something that is essentially held in place by double sided sticky tape....

The aluminium switches that I make are built into the original switches, the switches are machined to accept the new parts and then ultrasonically cleaned/refurbished before being chemically bonded and reassembled.They are then electrically tested before being shipped



As far as I was aware Leven make a knob for the Vauxhall fan switch (Chimaera?) which is not the same as the Lucas item as found on the S series

These look great Lee but I have a broken switch and expect you need the original switches from me to make up a set? If its possible for me to buy a complete set already assembled I'd order them from you today. Is that possible?

They do look good!
Fill us in Lee... do we need to supply you our originals? what's the cost and how long before we get them back?
Could I also say ...'chrome bezels', info please...
Cheers, Tim.
