QUOTE(type47fan @ Mar 21 2008, 08:13 PM)  . . . . examples of the real thing . . . . I've been looking for the smaller plastic escutcheon ring like the one pictured here on the ignition switch, I know the larger ones can be had , but I like the smaller one here. Are these available from some vendor source or is this a lucky if you can find one period , much less at a reasonable price?? This topic is something I have been collecting parts for , this switch ring is a major factor as in the finished look . Thanks for any info. BTW , good job Andy. Jaxdream |
