Some of you wanted to know how to fit the Griff Window switches to an S3/V8S. I did it last night and it took all of 20 minutes, most of which was making the gap in the tunnel slightly wider. The switches are a direct swap, wiring is exactly the same, and they fit the hole left by the old switches, albeit very tightly. You might want to widen the hole in the tunnel slightly as they are a little stiff in operation (Im waiting Podie) if you dont.

Photo of the new switches.


You will notice a little gap at the left switch bottom right corner where I was lenghtening the hole instead of making it wider! As I am getting it retrimmed it wont matter I will cover this.

Just need the Leven covers now

Cheers Mike

Very Nice....

Although...

I wish people would stop making all thes enhancemants and additions to their TVR's. I'm finding it hard to keep up with them all, AND the fact that the list of jobs is forever getting longer.....

You might have said before on another post, but, where did you source the switches from..

Very nice.

Might have to give that a try. Are they Vauxhall sourced switches?... if so, does the little white dot light up?
