Reply to "Upgrading switches?"

Danny,

Your question isn't that dumb, we are all often trying to find alternatives to costly original parts.

The answer is yes there are alternative rocker switches very close to the originals, that will provide the correct 'look and feel', without 'pimping up' your ride with led's.

The Pantera switches are Lucas rocker switches of which many 70's British cars used similar versions. For instance my wife's '74 MGB has a number of similar switches (Fog & spot, Lights, Hazard, Heater fan etc.) that would slot right in the original Pantera gauge panel. The MGB restoration shops sell them for around $28 ea. new or they are frequently on ebay used for a few bucks, you'd just have to check which are single pole and which double pole for your requirements. I'm sure you would also be able to get blank ones with no symbols on if you wish by doing a little searching of British car (Jaguar, Triumph, MG etc.) restoration suppliers.

Good luck
Julian
