Joe , et al

AFAIK the switch was also used in Heralds and early Spitfires ( Mk 1 and Mk
2 ) . At least it looks the same as the ones I have in my Triumphs .

Was it also used in the TR 3 ?

Kind Regards

Bob,

The switch I have is only a two position switch, not a three.  But, I do
have a three position switch somewhere that looks just like it (and an
extra light). Try British Miles, British Wiring (long shot), or maybe, in
a pinch, Triumphs Only.  Someone I am sure has the light and/or switch. 
I would think finding the base would be the hard part.

Real cars are designed to carry only two people, anything else is just a
bus.
