I just had my dash, center, and tunnel consoles all restored with new vacuum formed vinyl from JustDashes.com. I broke the heater fan switch indicator while trying to reinstall everything. It is the one that is illuminated with one of the pigtails on the fiber optic harness. Below is a picture.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement one of those units? I just broke the black frame. The clear piece that holds the fiber optic illuminator is still good. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Scott

I hate to deviate from your original questions, but I am curious about your steering wheel.
Is that a Nardi with a Fiat horn button?
Damn, that looks good.

That part consists of two pieces, the black plastic surround, and the clear center part. Do you need both, or just one of those two? I should have some.

focodave, unfortunately that photo is not of my car. I believe mine does have the original steering wheel. I just grabbed a photo of the console online to identify the part.

vendor, I just need the black plastic surround piece. The new vinyl made the hole too small and I guess I forced it to much. I will need to be slow and gentle if I can get a new one. If you do have one I would be very grateful. What is the best way to make that happen?

4uall, I don't know what you mean by +10 for Autoricambi.com. The job from justdashes.com was about $2800 for the dash, center console, tunnel console, two rear side panels, the two plastic panels that go between the tunnel and the center consoles, and the arm rests. The new vacuum formed vinyl looked great, but they have to match the color with a dye. I was horrified when the original color didn't match correctly as they had matched a vinyl spray paint I put on a long time ago when I used one of those cheesy vinyl repair with a iron kits. I instructed them to find virgin color on a piece of vinyl that wrapped around to the back side. They admitted their mistake paid for shipping back, etched out the old dye and re-dyed to the correct color at their expense. I was very grateful for that and think they are a great shop and have the highest praise for them. I did agonize over some of the aftermarket units that may have penciled out cheaper, but from just a simple pic online it was tough to get the confidence that they would fit and match.
