Wanted: S1 green instrument lights

[Tony K]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for part A079M6063F, "Control Illumination Light". I need two. These are the little green lights inside the top of the S1 binnacle that illuminate the switches and heater control.

I actually crushed both of them from the white car (GRRRRRRRR! I'M ANGRY AT MYSELF). (I have the interior out and binnacle apart right now.)

I hope they're not hard to find. If a vendor has them, I'll just buy them from there. But I don't expect people to stock or be able to get a part that is probably NEVER needed. I'll take any condition. They might be foud on other British cars, perhaps? They are made by Argolectic, and are essentially a plastic tube about an inch long with a small round lens and chrome ring at the end. Looks like it could be an indicator lilght on another car. ANY help is appreciated.

Hi Tony

I dont think these are parts that are included on the UK S1's.... any chance you could send a pic and i will tell you for sure.

I think bulbs from an early mini (centre binnacle) might do... Post a pic Tony and I'll be able to confirm.

Thanks for the replies. I wish I had a digital camera. One more thing to note is that the pattern of the little green lenses is like a fresnel or bullseye, not like a jewel. If I can get a photograph, I will . . .
