Good period toggle switches for a 356?

Post by Burma-Shave »

Now my blooming battery is charging I can now hook up my washer pump and driving lights. The p.o. kindly drilled 2 12mm holes next to each other in the dash, so I'm looking for some sympathetic period style switchery..

I need an on-off for the lights, and a spring release one for the washers. I looked at this from holden..50mm long lever is quite graceful and ergonomic I think..

..any other suggestions for something that would look factory-ish, but without more drilling..?

Only...perfect! Thanks Helen, they'll fit in lovely with my C's black knobs, and the look like the right size. I'll grab andy when he is back from Le Mans..

Glad to see you have stuck with the 356 tradition of no labelling of any switches whatsoever.. :lol:

What is the telephone-sytle attachment on the right hand side of your dash Helen...is it a telephone?!
