1600 Plastic Chrome Dash Pieces - in Green ?

[NickVyse]

Being an interior chrome piece they tend to last pretty well, unlike the plastic bits, so I should think new ones aren't exactly going to fly off the shelf.

Yeah not doing this for profit, just working on the idea of 3D scan and make based on order at cost or share the file so members here can benefit.

can anyone tell me what this button does??

 

 

i have one in my 1600 and always wondered what it is.. i have it wired in at the moment and never opened or closed it before i started this restoration. now when i have it open only half my lights work, so ive cable tied it up under the dash and left it closed. 

 

if its for something important maybe i should look into the wirigin and get it sorted

 

thanks

Isn't that your hazard light switch?

[larryt]

i think it is a hazard for sure, but its not a hazard light switch in my car. the wiring under the dash in mine was such a mess from the previous owner that i barely managed to get everything working as it should, im not sure i would be able to trace the wires into the switch to make it work. also i had a late center console fitted in mine with a hazard light switch fitted, this also didnt work.. so for now im going to try and get it through an MOT without one.. if it aint got one, they cant test it

The steering wheel is correct for that early 1600, there may have been an additional "chrome" trim ring around the perimeter of the wheel that oxidized green before disappearing.

 

Great interior shots.  Love the simple look.
