NeilF Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have been approached by a friend from across the water, who is restoring a Mk1 GT6 and he is after the dash switches for the Roof Light, Wipers, Head Lights and Heater. They are shown by Canley as no longer available, and Paddock, Rimmer and Moss do not show any. Is this an impossible task, or is there someone out there sitting on a stock of these? Any help would be appreciated. NeilF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Most of the Mk1 GT6 dash switches are unique I think, (some are shared with 1300FWD), they are small toggles with a 90 degree bend in them and a etching on the end. http://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-gt6-mki/ii-dashboard-controls-mki/ The interior light one is very fragile.

docwad Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 just use the tr4 switches gives a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to the dash ,ie round and flat toggles switches it what i have in mine, god knows why triumph didn't do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Neil, Apologies, bit late replying. I do not think I have on the shelf (will look) but try Mike Papworth, contact details in the Courier. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christoph Wintersteiger Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I recently broke the original (-looking) choke knob on my Mk1 GT6 and had a hard time finding a replacement. The only place that had some was Spitbits in the US, i.e., factoring in the shipping cost, that knob is quite a luxury item now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanT Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I also damaged my original choke knob. A tee one. Mick Dolphin was able to supply a replacement @ 2.50. Quite a bargain. Has others I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
