Original switches and buttons possible group buy

Yeah, it's for the foot box vents. There are knobs made that say "pull" and others made that say "push" but I need the pull ones.
How would be we do this as a group buy? Would it have to be an entire dash set or could there be single parts?

Hey, I am in the same position as Larry, I only need a partial or the dash switches & buttons. I emailed Nick and informed him I will pick from his list of part numbers which items I need and he seemed OK with that.

On the vent knobs on CSX2498 the words are: "AIR" in large letters in the middle of the knob and small letters on the bottom are: "PUSH"
the knobs are convex and fluted around the outside edges.

guys, i;ve never done one of this before, so i'm a total newbie. In fact we have only just started thinking about this kind of thing in the UK. Can I maybe suggest that we start a table that you can add your name on to different components. sounds like lots of us only need the awkward to find parts, which are probably the most expensive.

my web skills are crap, but maybe someone can improve on this:

Add your name if you're in:

Dash Dimmer switch

<add a pic?>

KevinW, <next person>, <next person>, <next person>

Headlight switch

Footbox PULL knob

etc.

Hi Mickmate,

Lucas part numbers for AC Cobra dash dimmer switch is Model 3R part number 78365A,windshield wiper switch is Model PRS7 part number 31957 same switch as the one used on late 50's Jaguar XK 150.With this switch you have to use a DR 3 wiper motor the one with 6 leads coming from the motor,also this motor uses a drive cable with a special end (hard to acquire) for the park switch.
Regards,Mike.
