7 series 4 dash switches.

[Dan Pantages]

OK, I have the new tank in.  Now I need a new fuel gauge which I am trying to install.  The Series 4 is impossible to work on under the dash.  I managed after 3 hours to get the old gauge  out.  In doing so I managed to break the wiper switch.  The wiring is so tight with no way to get through the jumble of wires.  When I did get the gauge undone the wires are so short to it that with it half way out the wires came off.  But right now I need to find out a source for the dash switches.  Picture attached.   This has been a project I wish I hadn't had to do.  I can't find any shop here that would be willing to do the job.

Hole size?

 

71 Escort looks close

They do look close, the wiper one is close enough for me.  About 25/32" x 1-9/16".

Another one.  Can see the back side on these pics.

Another. I'd say the bezel is a match

It may be possible English Ford used Lucas. I wouldn't rule it out.

Are you able to find a part number on the housing?

Any progress?

[Dan Pantages]

Not yet.  It is winter here and the garage is cold, not a lot of work being done.  Hard to get moving on replacing the switches as they all work, I just don't know for how long.
