Mini Arms

["Paul Salsbury" <paul.salsbury@xxxx>]

Hi all

 

And no I don't have short limbs.....

 

Today I made a great find and thought I should share this with you all.

 

I need a new set of combination switches for my steering column..  Looked at the prices from our main DMC suppliers and though 'it can wait a while, not that desperate.

Then I remembered Stians post about the Volvo Cruise control arm, and then another Mail pointing me towards a 1983 Austin Mini.

 

To day I took a visit to my local salvage yard, and went hunting.

 

And BOY did I score.......

 

A 1989 Austin Mini does just the job and MORE for me.

 

As my car is push button start and does not need an ignition barrel, on the '89 Mini there is also a Fog light switch/arm whichto my delight fits exactly through the ignition barrel hole . No need for a centre consol switch.

 

Extras also are rubber boots on the arms to finish them off. Oh and the wiring looms are plug and play!

 

I have up loaded pics into the DMC file, Please mail me and let me know what you think.

And the very best part.... the price ..............£5............. OOH yes just a poxy $7.07

Cheers

 

Happy Bunny
