Hi,
S1 Ignition switch is in the centre gauge panel and is loose but the bezel nut is jammed. Is there a special spanner t remove and tighten? Tried a few sites but couldn't see anything. I'm sure Frosts used to stock them
Thx
Eddie

I made one. This is it


I used 2mm thick aluminium and filed a chamfer on it. It won't damage the chrome but you can always re-file the ends if they burr up.

Thanks guys,
If anyone can forward a link to a site that sells them that would be great as had no luck with my Googling.
Thx
