Wiper/Washer Switch Needed

PostPost by: DABARTH » Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:47 pm

Good morning from the U.S.A.

I'm deep into the restoration of a very early '67 +2 and I've found the wiper switch/pump is compromised beyond repair. Might anyone have a lead on a replacement? My go-to supplier RD Enterprises does not stock it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Araan,
I know the early +2 had Ford Steering colomn. Maybe the Switches are Ford too.

I would be looking at the Triumph suppliers for a Spitfire/GT6 switch.

Part No. 155495 like this :- https://thewedgeshopstore.com/wiper-swi ... kii-mkiii/

Note that the design has changed.....

Thanks for these suggestions.

This switch is not on the column. Also... the Triumph switch suggested looks to only have one fluid nozzle ports where the original has two I believe.

Cheers,

Aaron
