I'm restoring a Griff and all of the potentiometer/switches are Fubar!

Does anyone have a part reference for suitable replacement switches please?

Seaside, the preset potentiometers you quoted are the type sitting on the water/air valves not the panel type that Bluebottle is looking for.

Those 10k presets you ordered are now unobtainable and have been obsolete for a few years now.

A suitable replacement is available direct from the US or from TVR Parts but it needs a small modification.

Sorry Bluebottle cannot help with your search.

Having ordered a quantity of the water valve presets from the US I have some spare if anyone is interested.

Hi Hamish. You're looking for a 10k linear side adjust potentiometer. Early ones fitted are 15mm and later ones are 10mm. Hopefully you should find some somewhere if you google it. I found these pretty quickly over the pond.
