Birkin Dash Switches

[slomove]

Since I am in the middle of a big makeover for my car, I am also looking for replacement dash switches. I still have the stock rectangular rocker switches with symbols and back light as the car came from Birkin. But they are getting unreliable (like a real Lukas part) and faded from the sun.

 

Anybody knows a drop in replacement that fits the panel cutout? Either the same again or if there are some that look nicer that would be even better.

 

Thanks!

I think both have a variety is choices including apparent stock switches.

 

Or you could: 1) open up the switches and clean the contacts, 2) build your own superior replacements.

Thanks for the link. They do have what I need.

 

I did clean the contacts before and it helped for a while. But they don't seem to like installation in an open car with occasional water exposure and the black surfaces show serious chalking/fading.

 

Now, for the superior replacements...that did not really come to mind although I could probably fabricate something like Frankenstein switches which would look pretty cool on the dash.

 

But seriously, my alternative would be to machine some back lighted adapter plates to fit the square cutout and install regular metal toggle switches in there. Somehow I like them anyway better for the type of car.

How about these?
