Default Wiper Control Switch

Where can one get the correct wiper control switch for the correct knob that twists? The CSX cars has a 3-position twist type switch: off-on-on for park-normal-high (speeds), like this:



Finishline sells a wiper kit that uses a 3-position toggle switch, as does Kirkham.

Getting the CSX knobs is not the problem; it's the switch.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Larry, I believe the switches are the same as what was used on Aces and Ron Leonard (Sport and GT) used to carry them.
He is in Durango, Col and can be reached at 970 259-0108

Default Ace

Jay,

Makes sense that the switch was used on an Ace. Thank you.

Larry

Larry - good luck.

Took me quite a while to find the original one... there are several variants that have the same "positions," but with different terminal connections. (screw-type vs.push-on, I believe)

If you are doing your own wiring teminations...either would work.

I think the one that has the "wrong" type (wrong in the sense of an original harness, but electrically correct) was used in the early Jag as well.

Superformance has a lookalike. The switch is actually a VW unit from about 1967 with a Lucas knob.
