There doesn't seem to be anywhere to get the inserts for the light switch knob on the dash. Strangely they are available for the hazard warning knob! I also need one for the fan switch. Maybe I need to start looking round the breakers.
Getting a second hand light switch might be the best option. The fan switch (if it's a real one) might be difficult to get hold of, as the fresh air fans weren't common in Euro busses. The Aussies had more of them. I've never been able to find a real switch for my fans.
Yeah it is an Aussie import, and the fan is real and works. Though I don't use it as it's a bit noisy. Suppose I could try an Aussie site, but they might not like giving away their knobs
Ooh I'll have to watch that. Bit expensive though when I only want the insert. Though maybe not if they are rare.
I had an original fan switch with no insert, so i had a look around the bathroom to find a suitable size black bottle top. (perfumes, lotions, etc.) Most will have a dimple in the middle from where the plastic was injected, but this can be sanded off and polished back to shine, just as you would if it was metal. After i made the insert a perfect fit, i just put a sticker of the fan logo on it. I made one for my ipod volume control too.
Must have missed those. Probably because I no longer look at Custom & Commercial since have a bit of a spat with them. Can't even remember what it was about
Even the Aussies seem to have a shortage of knobs . My fans came from Oz, and the knob was impossible to find. They do turn up in ads on theSamba, from time to time.
As an alternative, Vehicle Wiring Products sell a nice, chunky (German) three-position rotary switch, which doesn't look out of place. It's what I used on mine.
