Hi guys. As mentioned in my rebuild thread, I'm after a few bits. I need about 15 of these little instrument fixture screws to install the dashboard. no idea on sizes bu the lighter gives an idea. They were common on big sixties Rootes tin:  And a new headlight switch:  And the lower piece of chrome for my front end.  |

At a guess I'd say those screws were probabaly a BA thread. Have you a model engineers supply anywhere near? There must be some sort of " universal" chrome trim you could get for that grille piece that would look kinda close?  *Must finish clock off  Goes off to make mounting posts..... |

matt i need a pic of the back of the light switch or should I say the switch without its trimmings...
ie knob off facia platings off..
I can then strip the sceptre switch and see if it looks similiar...
I would have thought the rootes parts bin was raided across the range, especially as it appears to switch the same ... ie off-sides-main
