James, I just typed out a pretty long reply, but decided not to send it because I can't really justify what I said. My gripe
is being asked to pay that price for a component which electrically is about as simple as you get. You're selling it from the
point of view of exact replacement aesthetically, which is why the money's called for.

BTW do you have Servisol10 in the US? It's a switch and sliding contact cleaner and is IMO more useful than WD40. I have fixed
hundreds of switches in my time with S10 and/or a poke with a screwdriver to clean or bend up old contacts. I used to DJ and
the crossfader is expensive and wears very quickly. Using a combination of silicone grease and Servisol10, I extended its life
by 4-5 times.

I'll be contacting you pretty soon regarding some of my interior trim pieces which'll need fixing!!! I know I need a new
binnacle, but decided to wait until the car's actually here before investing further in parts (a set of struts from PJ Grady
is as far as I went before getting the car - we've lost our source of re-gassing them here)
