I'm looking for the instrument panel switches (lights, fan, etc.) from the 122S model year 1968 in US export edition (i.e. sold on the US market) if anyone is willing to sell them to me? Good condition = good price.

Thanks,

Fredrik

Fredrik. How do these switches differ from Swedish ones other than having the lettering on the bezels in English rather than Swedish? The later models did have flat rubbery tabs on the heater controls but I didn't realise there were any other differences.
Good bezels are easier to find than good switches so swapping them over is a good option. Being in the UK I might have odd ones in my "spares" box.

Derek:

Complying with US laws introduced in 1968, they are more "collision friendly" in that they are rounder and made of rubber. Also, they have their lettering on the knob rather than on bezel. Only on export cars to the US, only model year 1968.

This picture may give you an idea:

Walrus:

They may be similar to the 140-series, but their part numbers differ. Except for the four-way emergency flasher unit, which is the exact same.

Dinahmoe:

Chris had some but not all switches, hence this thread.

Thank you all for the effort!

Brgds,

Frederick,

I am looking for some parts too. Can you email me at barneyfou@gmail.com ?

Thanks

These may be the same as used on the early (up through 1972) 140/164.
If so I may have some. Email me offlist at gdowns [at] cableone [dot] net [nothingfollows]
if you don't find what you need.

I'm wondering if a new wiper switch is available, I have checked a few of the suppliers and see none listed. I've been looking for the past 4 days for my switch and it turns out there never was one in this car. (thanks to taking tons of pictures)

I have the other switches, but don't know how good they are as almost everything else on this car has been crap.

I'd venture to say that Chris has everything you need.
