[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 4, Issue 419

[Ron Fraser]

	My Mk IA has a 3 position switch.   The dash lights are barely
visible with 12V applied; a dim position might as well be off.

My Alpine parts list shows 3 panel switches - Lucas #s 31947A, 31946A, 34544

My 260 & 289 parts list show 1 switch - Lucas # 34943

The 31946 switch is also listed for the light switch so it is a 3 position
switch; as for the others I don't know if they are 2 or 3 position switches.

I have a couple Lucas 2 position switches - # 31828 and 31828D; I don't see
these numbers listed in the Parts Lists.

Hello,

My car has a three position switch which has been with it all the 34  years
I've owned it

What is the correct switch for the Instrument panel lights on a late  Mk1a
Tiger?

I am getting some conflicting info.

My car has a two 3  position switch with a built in resistor so I have two
light levels, dim and  flicker.

Smitty maintains that it should be a very small two position  switch.

What does your car  use?
