Can we get hold of original Lucas heater/fog etc panel switches? I have been looking through past threads but can't find or missed anything.

While I am waiting to get on with the main rebuild I have a few bits at work to play with, dash and botton mirror control/vent panel, mine were very pooly sprayed in body colour and rust.
I have bottomed them both and primed and black hammerited the rear and then covered the front with some carbon fibre vinyl from Carbon Mods @ £17 for 1.22m x 300mm the real deal would have been £180 + vat 2m x 1m sheet. (I will have to figure out how to post photo's)

I digress, I realy want to fit new switches but I can't find one by one and a half inch switches to fit the existing holes. anyone??

Hi Ray. I don't recognise them as Ford bits so TVR could have sourced them from anywhere. I'm sure someone will be along later with a better answer though. Why not take the opportunity to change all the switches for some a bit more reliable and ergonomic? Mine are always playing up and I’m sure there are some good alternatives out there. Joe

The mirror control (2 piece) is off the citroen as per the mirrors, the other switches are off the TR7 or Range Rover from early 80s. You need 2 position for the foglights and driving lights and the 3 position for the fan.

The two position switch is a TR7 headlight switch or a range rover interior light switch (slight mod needed if you use the RR switch)
The single position is the RR interior light or fog light switch

the alternative parts list should help you here as well

If you get really stuck I have some spares that I would rather hang on to but may release on a one by one basis

Thanks Mark, Knowledge is everything!

I'm thinking of hooking up the driving lamps to a main beam relay and using the front fog as a fuel pump security switch? stop the 'low lifes' what's your thoughts???
