Hi
can anyone tell me how the vacuum headlamp switch is fitted into the dash? The switch has a standard switch mounting thread and nut, but the hole in the dash is too large

Thanks Phil
Got the choke cable dished cup but cant find one for the head light switch. Do you know if they can still be obtained?

I think that is one of the hens teeth items on an Elan. I don't know whether they've been remanufactured with the choke and heater cable fittings that are available now but if they have I suspect you'd have to buy an entire fitting just to get the cup arrangement.
I'd suggest you put up a a wanted advert here hopefully someone will have one lying about.

Been through the whole darn parts store, parts i havnt seen for decades emerged into the cold light of day .... parts catalogue updated!

Is that the Roswell where you guys found an alien craft and used their technology?
Just to correct the conspiracy theorists, Its alien insofar as its British, the outer shell is fiberglass, this is the technology combined with an X file, er, sorry, X frame chassis, and a twin cam, cross flow, hemispherical combustion chamber head, that provides star ship acceleration and manouverabilty that defies Newtons first law.
