Rubce Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Quoted from yorkshire_spam Something like these?http://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/2-way-toggle-switches.html Hi.I doubt the threaded section of those is long enough to pass through the dashboard. RegardsBruce Quote
yorkshire_spam Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I wonder if they have routed the back of the dash panel, or found switches with longer threaded sections? Quote

Dannyb Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 don't think they exist. If the threaded bit is too long the switch lever won't be able to move enough to operate it. Quote
poppyman Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Hi Bruce,Try stafford vehicle components The ones i have got are the lucas type that i got from there.Cheers, Tony.psThe type i have got are same as in the picture,As fitted to jaguars. Quote
TedTaylor Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Avoid the ones where the toggle part is all plastic - they have an annoying habit of breaking when used enthusiastically as we used to find when went rallying!Should be easy to get either the same as original in your picture of ones there only finger part of the toggle is plastic ....... I have acquired quite a few of both over the years and did not think they were difficult to find.MUT Quote

ed_h Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 As stated, long threaded barrel is problematic for the internal toggle mechanism.A possible alternative is to use fixing nuts that reach down below the dash surface.These are home brew, but possible someone sells them?Ed Quote
Rubce Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Looks like it will be a job for the router >Thanks to all who replied.RegardsBruce Quote
