The first three from Brad Mills having been posted on here before, but I felt it would be good to have them in this thread.
The oil pressure gauge is Canadian, while the Lucas start button is Pre Universal British carrier.

A few more bits. The round bakelite switch in the last picture was used in a few applications.
1. Std start button.
2.British speedo
3. Two switches from Dirk Leegwaters shop. Note the extra position on the British switch.
4. The trouble light dash socket.
5. I think this was the original change over switch for the tail light / black out light, on British carriers. (the switch at the back)

Hi guys, I have been asked what make are the Canadian horn buttons (that is, if they were not a Ford made item) for the Canadian MkI* Universals.
I don't know the answer, so out to you guys. Michael R.???? Rob L.??? :note:

Canadian Horn Button
 
2 Attachment(s)
The elusive little critter......Had another search in the store today, think I have found what appears to be an original horn button from an unmolested panel.
See in the pics hole centres are 1 1/2 inch. Does not appear to have any internal spring, just relying on the brass tab that is bent up and there is a little raised bit on the back of the button that makes contact on the tab back down to the terminal. Like to know the make? The Lucas button and the other button, "Except Ford" the holes centres I think are 1 11/16 inch , so would not fit without modification. Open to ideas?

Canadian Panel Switches

I believe this to be the correct switch for the Canadian panels.
Made in the USA ( C H ) , part no. 8801K2. Are these a standard USA switch , used in other vehicles ?. The CMP switches are different, having a shorter Toggle. Are these available anywhere, looking for some?? Cheers.

Andrew, I need 9 of those switches if they are available.

Thanks Kevin.

Thought I would add a couple of pics for reference, first 2 pics of British switch.
Third pic of Brit amp gauge I believe and early Canadian gauge below.
Fourth pic of the dash lights , top one standard Brit , second one down early Brit, would this be scout carrier, etc?? , third one is Canadian.

Andrew, I need 3 british ones.
Will you trade some of these?

Lynn Eades 15-09-14 12:53

O.k Andrew. C.H. Is Cole Hersey. (I don't actually have any)
The switches shown are available (in the on line catalogue) under two part numbers.
M493 and 5507. One is Chrome, the other Nickel plated. You pick!

I think these would go close to the CMP switches (different I know) but as a set they would look not bad.
There is no 3 position switch for a fuel gauge switch though.
The Canadian switch you have shown does not come up in their catalogue although very similar ones are there.

Does anyone have any spare British switches? (as per Andrews picture)

Dragging this to the front for Colin Jones.
