r.d. enterprises has reproductions. They aren't cheap - $69.00, but they look good.

thanks -

The unfortunate part is - with the conversion and shipping that over $100 :-(

Maybe you can enlist Certified Lotus to look for one for you. After all, he found the unavailable - an ashtray!  ;D

Light switch? Are you are talking about the black rocker switch on the dash?

If yes, they can be rebuilt, if you still have one.

Thanks for the note.

I am looking for a round one you twist then pull.

Cheers,

I used the knobs from a Triumph TR4 on my tcs.  They only cost around $5.00.  They fit fine but the labels are slightly different than original.

I did the same thing, except I replaced both the headlight knob and the dash light knob so they would match. Got mine from Moss Motors, I think they were around $5.00 each.
