Hi group,

Just to round out the discussion on tail light covers.  I understand that the 
covers used on my 1969 1600GT came from a Vauxhall.  They are oval shaped 
with rounded ends.  Some of the later models had more of a square tail light 
cover which I was told also came from a Vauxhall.  

The previous owner of my car mentioned that the tail light covers were also 
used on the Lotus Europa (he also owned a Europa) and that the Lotus club had 
purchased all the available stock back in the 70's.  I don't know if anybody 
has started remanufacturing them but I would start any search with the Lotus 
Club.  

I believe I have a set of the early Vauxhall covers in my spare parts bin 
that the previous owner had purchased from the Lotus club.  He never threw 
anything away, even worn out parts, so I have many boxes of bits and pieces.  

The one item I am running low on are the toggle switches used on the 
dashboard.  One of them fails about once every two years and I believe I have 
only one working switch left.  Attempts to repair the worn out switches has 
met with limited success.  Does anyone have a source for them?
