Does any one knows how these switches are called on the far right end of the dashboard next to the cabet?(MGB MK I)
They have a star shape.
I am trying to found a pair, but I do not know how to search for it...
Cheers...
 
Can you find a way to put up a photo?

Sorry...probably...next to where the ignition switch was the light, wiper and fan switches in the early models...but still want to know what a cabet is /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

S'why i asked fer a photo...
 
i'm reckonin' the cabinet is the "glove box"... as that's the only thing that I can think of that remotely resembles a cabinet in a car...

lefty, I think i'd try Mossmotors if your looking for a new part. Here's a link to Moss Motors Europe's switches section of their online catalogue: Moss Motors Europe

I'm sure there are other places you can try for these parts, but I'm unfamiliar with the European resources for classic car parts.

best of luck to ya. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
hmmm... star shaped... maybe the heating control knobs?
Here's a link to the heater knobs: heater knobs
 
yep...the third switch away from the iggy would be the heater fan switch...it had a little fan that might look like a star to some on it. The old toggle switches helped earn Lucus the nickname "Prince of Darkness" as they failed rather consistently! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Third switch from the ignition on a MK I would be a Lucas toggle. I think Nunyas nailed it... heater knobs.

This is a late MK I so it has the push-pull ight switch and has swapped its place with the washer push, but the rest is the same as the earlier MK I. I don't have a good photo of my early MK I dash.

Thank you very much guys, you ve helped me a lot.
The switches I was looking for are actually the heater knobs...

Thank you all
 
*does a little dance*
 
You use heater knobs in Kalif?

Bruce
 
yeah... I do... heh. Although, my heater temp knob seems to not adjust the heater valve through its full range of motion, and the def/interior knob doesn't seem to adjust anything at all. Still, I need it to help defog my windshield on those rainy days... and on those cold 50F mornings... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
