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 |

I don't have pics here right now, but if you have access to a lathe, you can turn down a bigger ring yourself ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy I did exactly the same thing, turned down the big 911 ring for the 914. |

Found one on the AA web catalog , haven't ordered yet . The good Dr. lists the piece for $ 4.21-very reasonable , now if he just has it in stock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Yeah , I thought about turning down in a lathe the bigger 911 ring , but I just wanted to see if I could find the smaller ring already done. I'll see if the Doc has one , if not the big ring route. Thanks guys for the info on this conversion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Jaxdream |
