Restoration of dash switches for a Cuda
« on: May 02, 2017 - 06:46:36 PM »
I need a couple dash switches restored, i.e., dimmer and headlight switches. I had read that a guy at email address "jrestorations@rocketmail.com", restored switches. I tried sending an email, but the site is not there anymore.  Does anyone have a source to restore switches.  Thanks

these are not your typical 5.oo toggle switch,

labor intensive to rebuild these that comes at a cost. No they are not cheap but neither is a restored E body. Par for the course.

Too bad somebody doesn't make new ones.    My 66 Charger headlight switch with rheostat build in for dash dimmer, can be bought new for about $20 and there were far less 66-67 chargers built than E bodies !!

But your headlight switch fits 50+ different vehicles, E body switches fit E bodies & nothing else...

If you haven't seen Jim's work take a look....

I've used new switches in various cars over the years and typically, I am disappointed with how poorly they are built and perform. When I get to that point in my current build, I think I will give Jim a call. Sometimes the extra money on a little thing like this can really make a difference in how much you enjoy driving the car. Then again, maybe I'm anal about little details like this. Haha
