WTB: Dip Switch and hard plastic ignition cover

[goofycarp]

Looking for a useable hi/low beam stalk switch for 1973 tii and the hard plastic shroud that is under the hi/low beam and turn-signal stalks, the one that covers all the wires under the steering wheel. Looks like I need the 6 pin switch.

Thanks.

These lower trim covers have gone NLA? 32 31 1 110 912

I have a metal one, from a tii, that someone drilled a 1/4" hole to put a cold-start switch where the choke would be on a non-tii.

Hi, If the metal one will work in place of the plastic one, I am interested. Price? Thanks, Cort

Have a switch that works sometimes.... I got in the car in a hurry once and hit it with my knee and it got bodgy after that. Worked when I put a tight ziptie around it. I got tired of fooling with it so I replaced it I'll send it to you for the cost of shipping. Part # is 1 352 957 8357/61. Also have a metal under dash piece that will need to be cleaned up and reprinted. It has a choke cable on the side opposite of the ignition. Looks like the holes all line up with the plastic one on my 73. Also have 2 of the pads that goes over it. Both have a little chunk out of them below the ignition switch. Pics below. Would send all three for $25 shipped.

Hi, Thanks for the response and really generous offer. I think I could put the metal cover to good use, how much to 95667. Paypal ok? Thanks, Cort

I was gonna say- jump all over that metal cover for $25! Have you seen the co$$$$t for new (from the very few places that still have them?$$$$$)

Clean it up and then paint it with some hammered look spray paint. This gives it the correct texture. Then finish it off with a satin black spray paint.

Since your car is a tii, remove the choke cable and install a factory switch that is just a push/pull on/off. I think it was the wiper speed switch. The knob looks right at home. You can then use it for some driving lights, or a bump switch if your cold start system is messed up.

I believe all the early 2002's used the metal covers. The date code on mine are March and June 1972. For sure used on the 72 tii's. I would suspect that the plastic didn't come into play until 75 or 76.
