Looking at all these symbols you'd almost start looking for mounting options on your car for the purpose of being able to install the original switch with it  Bram | |

Seems to me I'm gonna need a bigger dash..  Bram by the way, the 'raster' and 'taster' switches, are these the different type switches used in early 460G's and later (post 83 G's). My 1982 G has got these big 'rocker' switches, whereas my 1984 has got a bit more subtile switches. Edited by bram_r 2/28/2008 6:50 AM | |

Only have to find out what part number matches what type of switch. Will follow up... Bram (DSCN6614.JPG) Attachments ---------------- DSCN6614.JPG (72KB - 10 downloads) | |

And now have nice original switches, with will be illuminated when lights are on and have the correct 'on' light in them. Very nice and thanks again Karl for your complete overview of symbols. The 'Zusatzscheinwerfer' symbol is a bit vague in a sense that I was expecting to receive one for activating a working light on the back of my G...this is more for extra lights on the front I would say. For the 'Arbeitsscheinwerfer' I was expecting a search light symbol, but this is more of working light now that I think of it (Arbeit = work, back to class Bram ...

Regarding history, the 'Fahrzeugbrief' and also the seller told me this car was owned by the police of Munich and should have been in service as a radio car. Found a complete overview of all Munich short wave frequenties under the seat, but furthermore got no additional info. Also, this color doesn't seem like a police color to me, so by whom it was owned and what purpose it really served, I don't know. The nice thing about this one is the abscence of the many rust spots other G's of this age have when 'living' in a rust friendly climate Holland an Germany for over 20 years.

As far as I know the cut-out for the switches is already in the metal sheet of the dasboard and the only thing you have to do is to cut out the plastic cover. At least on the dashboard of my 280GE they were already there. Mine is however a bit older and has the first type of switches. If you push with your fingers on the place where the cut-out should be you can feel if I'm right. wkr Wout (DSCN0561 (600 x 450).jpg) Attachments ---------------- DSCN0561 (600 x 450).jpg (72KB - 9 downloads) | |
