+2 PARTS NEEDED

Looking for a few things to finish up the referbishment of a '71 +2:

headlight switch and plumbing, passenger side arm rest, parcel shelf, trunk bulkhead, trunk floor panel, fuse box cover, door courtesy lights, wheels.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The mention of “trunk” makes me think Greg is in the U.S. somewhere…

What wheels are looking for and whats your location ?

Sorry, should have mentioned that I am in Southern California. It would be great to find alloy wheels, but even a decent set of steel wheels would help. Every one of mine is bent. Greg

Greg, Trunk Floor and possibly Bulkhead are plywood items. Should be easy to make your own if you can’t get any on ebay etc.

Plate BM in the parts book shows the boot (trunk) fllor panels.

If you are stuck, I could send you photos and maybe even a tracing.

I think a dimesional drawing of the floor panels was posted a while back, so worth a quick search. Trying to remember, but pretty sure it was for Plus 2.

For wheels I went with Minilites from John Targett out of Ohio IIRC. He is US distributor, and name comes up on Minilite US web site.

The thread with the floor board drawing is titled “Boot flooring” and is dated July 8 2008 in Plus 2 forum. Lots of good info.

Bulkhead panel is just rectangular piece I think. Mine is presently out of the car so can measure & post if you require.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It looks like the boot/trunk panels won’t be too much trouble. Does anyone know if the headlight switch is still availible through parts suppliers? Where they used on anything else? Also, I appreciate the suggestion of Minilights, but will hold out a while longer. The Minilights look great, but I’m going for an original look (if possible). Greg

you could try a Uk parts supplier such as paul matty sports cars - I think they have replacement turn and pull light switches if that’s what you meant. They probably will send overseas as it is such a small item.

Greg, good quality reproduction headlight switches are available (as per Lucas PPG1).

They are pull (for sidelights), twist and pull (for headlights). The knob is held on with a spring loaded detent.

See ebay ref for picture cgi.ebay.ie/Lucas-Type-PPG1-Vint … m153.l1262

Also, do you still want a tracing of the boot panels? I tried emailing you via a PM but see that it didn’t leave my outbox. The boot panels are sitting under my sofa in the lounge.

Greg, did you get the dimensional drawing of the bulkhead I sent by PM? It also did not leave my outbox, so wanted to make sure you got it.

Daverollo PM’d me last Feb when I was looking for one stock Plus 2 steel wheel, and mentioned he had several. He is in Ontario. Might be worth a try. I wasn’t sure if you wanted steel or alloy stock ones.

Not sure what part of the light switch you require or type. I have the replacement part numbers available for the micro-switches from Allied Electronics in the US if this part is required. These are the ones for the Federal fail safe design with the micro-switches mounted directly on the pneumatic vacuum switch in the dash. Not sure regarding source for the vacuum portion of switch though; plan to replace with electric motors anyway.
