Hi all. As some of you may be aware, I bought my Unique FIA used about a year ago. I've slowly been repairing and replacing odd items as the car is ten years old. One of the toggle switches broke a couple of weeks ago and I'm looking for a replacement. They are metal paddle style and pewter colored. Did these come from Unique or are they something the original owner might have picked up?

Thanks

Scott

Your car is about the same vintage as mine.
The toggle switches came with the kit.
I have never seen this old fashion style of switch in the aftermarket.
The insulated body is made out of what I would call 'bakerlite' (UK )
I haven't seen that used since I was ..?????
I might be showing my age.

Actually my switches have a metal case, not bakelite, with "mexico" stamped on the bottom"

Joe,
You can get replacement Lucas switches from Finishline, these are the original type. I have replaced all my Unique switches with the Lucas switches. If you didn't want to do that call or e-mail Maurice Weaver and he will sell you replacement switches like you have in your car.

I really like the look of the Lucas switches. They seem to "blend" better with the dash.
