Well my 68 has the metal type dash and has the correct switch which would 
fit in a pre-68 dash.  (look the same just has 3 positions)  It would be 
factory part # BHA 4786.  This switch is available from Seven for 
$29.95.  They sell it as the switch for the pre 68 cars (which actually 
should be part # 149011) I doubt you would get it from MOSS or Vic Brit 
unless you knew just what you wanted.  I'm sure this switch must have 
been used on other cars, It's just a matter of finding it in the junk 
yard/parts bin.

This does bring up one of my pet peaves :(

Why do Moss, Vic Brit etc. insist on using thier own part numbers as 
opposed to the factory numbers, (Or at the very least supply a cross 
reference).  I have a 68 canadian spec B which has several differences 
from the US spec ones (metal dash being a key one).  I have to be careful 
ordering from them since I can't go by part number and have to use their 
numbers.  In contrast all the U.K. vendors use the factory system.  (so do 
Seven and TRF)

You're quite welcome.
