Anybody knows where to find replacement for the dashboard switches decal (lights, fan, etc)???

I wasn't aware there ever were decals or labels for the switches.... which leads some owners to forget what the functions of each switch are. Maybe some stick-on labels wouldn't be a bad thing?

In fact they are stick-on labels. Black print over Metalic. I was told that Lamborghinis of the same era have similar switches and stick-on decals. If somebody has all the orginal may be we could get some high resolution scans. I could take care of the printing on the proper material? Anybody could provide the scans of the originals?

I have original NOS switches, and my car came with some repro stickers that arent very good.

I have no idea where they came from. The one I need is the Red hazard switch label.

I will search around.

PS I found a great deal on many parts, including the dasboard mouse fur from a european Ferrari source I have been buying from for many years. I will ask them.

FWIW here is pic of switches

The hazard light lenses remove separate from the switches (that's how you access the light bulb inside to change it), and some Alfa e-switches are interchangeable.

Thanks Zadra, another good topic, I'd like to figure something out on this as well. Bobileff Motorcars sells stickers in sets of 5 for Lambo 350GT and 400GTs, but the picture on thier 'parts' web page so small/dark so it's hard to tell what the symbols are exactly, at least besides the 'fan' one. The same basic switches were on several period Maseratis, using some additional/different symbols compared to the Lambos, so Maserati vendors like MIE might have options too. Alfa Giulias (maybe others too) had the same basic switch as well. I say 'basic' switch because it appears there were a large number of part numbers used on these Lucas switches - lots of variables involved regrding throws, contacts, load capacity, etc, apparently.

I haven't found other cars that have the exact part numbers as the Goose but that's a separate issue. My impression is that not all Mangusta had the exact same set of symbols, and it's likely that switches/part numbers varied too. I'll post what I know regarding later cars separately, and see what everyone thinks.

Back to stickers, a custom set may be the way to go. While I don't have access to my car I do have a few spare switches at hand and will check if any have any sticker remnants to document, etc.

All,

I want to say that I had heard of someone in the Alfa club redoing some of these stickers years back when I first got my car, but subsequent attempts to locate this person fell short...

I have all of my switch decals intact except for the town/country horn, and the emergency flasher.

Jack-these "Emergency" switches were not lit like you are thinking until P-cars.

Some cars apparently came with "fuel pump" logos on switches yet there were few or no cars that actually came with electric pumps. That would have been "expensive" for DeT.... Makes me wonder what they did do???? T/C horn?

If anyone has an Alfa parts dealer around, it may be worth swinging by with a picture or two to see what they say.

Maserati angle would be good too.

Hi Guys,

The switch stickers on my car are in pretty good shape, but I will be making replacement ones when I re-do my car. Seems like there are a few here who could use them, so when I get done re-creating the art for reproduction, I'll post and see who will be interested. I'm planning on making other plates and stickers as well, so as long as nobody is in an insane rush, I light be able to pull together complete replacement sets for most of what was on the car. Since we now have three Mangustas in close proximity, we have a growing set of references up here. Long winters mean we have nothing else to do but this sort of thing anyway.

But, if you're in a rush, I'm pretty sure the Maserati Mexico uses the exact same switches.

I just recently found some waterslide decal paper that you can put in a standard injet printer and and create decals that way. I made decals for my father for his hobby of model airplanes. They work just like the decals that you would get for model cars and planes at your local hobby store. in this case I think you would want to use a white decal background with the black surround. I draw mine on an autocad drafting program that has a range of close to 250 colors so you can customize them to fit your car. My dad reported that the decals worked quite well and looked great. It would also let light thru for the lit hazard switch Bosswrench described. I found the decal paper on Ebay for $10.00 for 10 sheets. Thats probably enough to do every 'Goose in existence!
