Thanks for the reply, it's complete switches which I require, but can't find any as I know you can't get them any more, so after some second hand ones will try and post a picture if I can find one

No, my one is '95 so I have a different layout to that.

http://www.tvrpower.co.uk/store/filter/category/14... Do the fan and light switch that you are after.

I believe that the others are just leven alloy covers. What do you have at the moment, just holes where the switches should be?

hi MiniMark, a modern system would help the look of that carbon dash!

Worth noting that the switches are connected by ribbon cable to control ECUs which actually switch the lights, so the switches on their own won't actually switch anything.

That's a shame as I really want these switches it's for a custom dash I'm making for a race car

Yeah I understand this but will be able to make them work using relays and a diode instead of the ecu not a problem it's in a custom car anyway
Thanks

Yeah they were the only place I can find them, But as you say a bit over priced.
He also was rude to me and made me think he shouldn't have my hard earned cash.
I asked him if he would list on ebay so i could buy the over priced switches, as can't get any where else but he wouldn't list them on e bay coz didn't want to pay the listing price so he wanted me to buy over the phone for something I couldn't even see the condiction also guessing no kind warranty with it !!!
