Dreamr Posted 23July, 2014 Report Share Posted 23July, 2014 Hi All, I'm looking for some bits to fit in place of some failing parts... 1. Headlight switch (81 SC) 2. Door knob (the little black one that pops up and down) 3. Fan control panel (the one that takes 4 x controls) If anyone is parting out a car or has something spare you have sitting around and want to sell, please let me know... Thanks, Ronny.....

Dreamr Posted 23July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 23July, 2014 Scrapping a car no longer in use........ meaning no longer in use due to accident damage (although if you want to sell me some parts from your car regardless of whether you use it or not.... I'm ok with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Porsche wrecker on eBay that claimed to have some 911's of our era, might be worth a try for the headlamp switch as they are $200 plus new, not sure what you mean by fan control panel, got a pic?

Dreamr Posted 27July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 Thanks for that info Caledonian.... I will go and have a look on ebay...I've seen the prices for a new switch. That's why I thought I'd try and find a used one.Here's a pic of the "fan control panel"...I only really need the black plastic surround with the information on it but I'm not sure if it's one unit and the fan controls come with it.

Caledonian Posted 27July, 2014 Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 Ah! now i see what you mean. My one was broken too, well just the facia but it is a one piece construction and a PITA to replace. I ended up getting one off eBay from Germany, and from what i recall it was $160 land cost with half the cost being postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Its a wondrous bit of engineering, with the plastic riveted to the metal frame….this is my spare because mine is broken too. Had one attempt at repairing it, but broke again. Definitely an interesting exercise to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 28July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 You are such a tease..... (unless you want to sell it) Thats the one I need... didn't know it was one piece. I thought I might have been able to buy just the plastic front cover.... I will keep on my search...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Here is the other side. When you get one, check that the lamp mounts haven't melted from wrong wattage globes being fitted. I will be using LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Shouldn't that be "…rubbing off of me " to be american speak …just another dig that's up there with "swapping out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 28July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Thanks OZ930, I think that I also want to fit led's to brighten it up a bit..... my controls all work but the front facia is cracked which sometimes dislodges the controls from their tracks....

Russ Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 who is this person and what have you done with Ronny?? LED's were never original fitment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 28July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 I was waiting for one of you guys to pick me up on that......
