Switch blanking plate

Post by Combehatter »

Hello,

One of Bubba's previous owners previous must have had a toggle switch (for whatever reason). Unfortunately it has left a hole in the blanking plate and looks a right mess, does anybody know where I could get a replacement - I have searched everywhere!

Where's your fog light switch then since it's not one of those three?

The part is '133 957 087' 'blind cover', nla from VW or Classicparts, but no doubt your local friendly T3 breaker may have them.

The fog light switch is the bottom one - exactly the same as mine, you can just see the amber light lens on the left edge of it for when it is on.

Ha! I never thought about that bottom switch being for the front fogs (that I don't have) however it does operate the rear fog light (just checked).

Thanks, I'll have to start contacting some breakers then.

Should be an off/on/on switch.

Yes sorry, got confused with heated rear window but then that's not on all vans :oops:
