#1 Spring loaded dashboard toggle switch

Post by 80 XKE » Mon Jan 04, 2010 8:39 pm

Some of you may remember those switches, about 4-inches long, which were on a "spring" stem and which when mounted adjacent to the rim of the steering wheel could be used to flash the lights and sound the horn.
I have searched high and low for a supplier, without luck. If anyone knows where I could get one or two, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Geoff.

Hi Geoff
Do you mean this switch, on the extreme right of the dash? Down for horns, up to flash. These were fitted to the 1962 S2 Lotus Elite, and originally sourced from a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, I believe! They have been unobtainable for a long time, but they are now available again at ?65 from Type 14 Spares (David Mousley) on 01494 880583.

One of the few electrical bits I haven't needed for my Elite!
