Marcos Maniacs

Hi Jeff,
Holden in England has a "ton" of switches for English Cars 
including rocker switches for E Jags, XKJ etc.  that include the wiper 
switch etc. Their catalog of all sorts of neat replacement parts is 
worth having at any rate.  Contact me by email if you want their Web 
site etc.  I could also email you a scanned copy of the switches
