If you mean the ones with the green insert, then they are not available i've been told. I'm after some for my 1976 car and i'm struggling.

If it isn't the ones with the green insert and chrome surround, try this guy:-

david millington (dj.millington@btinternet.com)

Take a switch out and email him the Lucas reference number and he will give the details and may have them in stock. Sells a lot of new-old stock Lucas parts and was very helpful when i contacted him.

Good luck

Paul

I think there were a couple of different types of rocker switches (up to chassis 3502 and from chassis 3503). Take a look at
http://www.olenik.com/tvr/catalog.pl?page=index (may have to copy and paste link).
Section 6 Instruments and dashboard

If you can't find anything locally, try Marshall Moore at Classic Motor Works in the US

Again, you may have to copy the link.

John Wadman at TVR North America in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada supplied me with a rear defrost switch with the chrome bezel not too long ago.

Thanks for the tips - I'll follow them thro'

I think the switch panel is a rare verion as discussed earlier in the year. It's a short sloping panel (bit like the early ML's), the switches are slimmer than the later ones and no chrome or green surround.

The panel & dash are brushed stainless, which doesn't fit the age of the car. I can fit different switches before recovering and have found several suppliers but the difficulty is the 2 pos'n lighting & wiper switches - they don't seem to exist.

thanks,
David

Lucas still seem to do a limited range; have a look from page 67 onwards.

Hi !

I had an MGB from 1973 with the same Rocker switches as my 1976-Turbo ... as discribed from You.

But they had changed in the MGB model range as they changed at TVR !

Try the ordinary MG-Parts Cataloges - I preferred Anglo Parts ...

Best wishes
