Greetings At long last I have managed to replace those loud coloured dash switches. They have been bugging me from day one of owning the mog. It turned out to be a very easy job in the end. The switch tops are removed from the front of the dash with the special lens removal tool supplied by the manufacturer EAO. They just pop straight out. New replacement clear tops are readily available, sourced mine from http://www.scatts.co.uk . I made up some new legends by printing onto acetate film. (artwork file available should anybody want it). Plain white paper also works but the switches are not as bright when illuminated at night which isn’t a bad thing . You can play for hours dreaming up different colour combinations, the only problem is choosing one. Still can’t decide what works best, green to match the interior or cream to match the dials. For the record the EAO part numbers for the switch tops and removal tool are: 61-9642.7 & 61 9730.0. Just search these numbers on the Scatt’s site. They also sell the coloured LEDs for the switches.

Nice solution. Sometime ago we had a similar discussion on this torum. Changing switches on a 2006 4/4 Minikeefy and myself used the new chrome switches which are used on current Morgans. Keep mogging, Christian

Hi Daniel No I don’t think it is what you are quoting. They are the round 25mm diameter type (61-9642.7). You can find them on this page: http://www.eao.com/global/en/Catalogues/...1-Full-Data.pdfThey can also be sourced from Farnell & RS. PM an email address and I will forward the artwork.
