Title: Column mounted high beam switch Post by: blacky on November 12, 2005, 01:19:45 PM Has anyone managed to successfully fit a high/ low beam switch to a standard column ?
I would like to get rid of the floor mounted dip switch but keep the original look. Also , I just got a 2 speed wiper motor from Ken , what switch is the best to use ? ? ?

What sort of switch would you use on the column? The only thing I could think of would be the old "bolt-on" indicator switch. With a little modification it could be adapted. There's no reason it couldn't be done, the wiring may need to be extended though.

I have an LC torana that is on its way to the tip , will rob the switch out of it before it gets squashed.

The torana switch works just as well and is probably less hassle to set-up. Just don't try to get rid of the little vacuum squirter mechanism, been there done that ::). You will need to cut a little of the hex shaped stalk to get the knob (with grub screw) to sit flat on the dash though, measure twice, cut once.
