GT6 mk1 interior light switch... Any suggestions?

Hi All,

My mk1 GT6 is missing the toggle switch on the dash for the interior light. I've not had much joy tracking one down as no one seems to make them and spitfire graveyard don't have one. Any bright ideas for a source or alternative that will fit?

Thanks in advance.

Set up an auto search on eBay.  I bought an interior switch 3 months ago for £ 1 (I was the only bidder).  It cost me an additional £ 12.50 to get it shipped to Canada.   They do come up once in a while, just not very regularly.

Lucas part number is 35562A.


A cheap option in the interim could be a used one from a mini or landrover, like in these adverts:

They appear to have the same style body and same oblique blade orientation as on the 35520A switch.

Perhaps combining one of those to with this wiper switch could give you one with the same style of knob:  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/triumph-herald-windscreen-wiper-switch-/191066889428?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c7c795cd4
