    I'm just getting into wiring my project. I got a set up from Kwick Wire, which seems really good. The car was made in France in 1951 and set in a field with the windows down for about 30 years before I got it so there are no usable electrical components. The switches in the door jambs were pretty little, like about a half inch wide. There are some reinforcing ribs in that area, so I'd like to find some replacements about the same size. Any ideas? THANKS!

    I put courtesy lighting in everything i build, makes it look finished and welcoming. I use mid 70’s GM switches (Camaro/Trans Am, etc), cheap and plentiful and small. My father taught me everything I know about interior Illumination.

    You might try a door switch for an older vw bug (mid 60’s). Might work for what you need.

    I like that. Not too modern looking.
