Hi Lads,

Im trying to get another group buy going for these buttons, the guy said he will supply the starter button for £10.99 with free P+P ( which he normally charges £14.99 + £1.50 P+P). They look very good and assures me the quality is very good.

I've replied trying to reduce the price further.

At this stage I'm trying to find out the number of people interested and how many buttons they want as he does different ones ie. NOS, hazard so I can try to demand a better price.

John.

PS. Or if anyone knows a better source of starter buttons for around the same money, then please let me know. At the Yorkshire show there was a plain black button for £8 + P+P

John,

These are also featured in the DT Motorsport catalogue, for IIRC about £15-£17, so his price looks very good, but:

I'm sure that DT include a connector block, which ain't in the pics!!

I've Seen these buttons in Demon Tweeks too. Thought they looked really cool. On MAC#1's site there's a picture of a dashboard using these which looked excellent.

I would be interested in a Start Button, Fog light, Hazard lights and Spot light button.

Andrew

They are selling theres for £25. The guy has just got back to me and if I can get enough people he will do these at £10.50 with free P+P.

If any is interested in some of these please send me a mail at jfoste32@csc.com
Im waiting to hear what he call bulk order.

Cheers

John

PS. there is a guy on the BEC forum who has ordered one last night, he is letting me know the quality when it arrives.

Looks great. I'd have a full set but not at £10 each - be looking at £100 just for the dash!

Chris

Chris, I wish I could get them cheaper myself, I'd have the full dash as well, but im only going for the starter button as I can't find one that looks half decent under 35 pounds elsewhere.

Anybody know if these are SVA friendly or do they have to be hidden behind the steering wheel??

Mick

I have the starter button (paid £15 for mine from show).
The switch potrudes about 1cm from dash and is not radiused enough, so will need to be in void area!
They could be mounted onto a panel that could be pushed out of dash, or even recessed.

Terry

Or fitted after the SVA *cough*

Chris

got one fitted to mine, passed sva no probs. it can be seen here http://locostbuilders.co.uk/photos/cgi-bin/showpic.pl?finished_3.jpg Centre of dash under tacho and illuminated during build here http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos/cgi-bin/showpic.pl?starter_button_all_lit_up_5_june.jpg
I have wired the light to the immobilser and the oil pressure switch so the light comes on when the immob is off and goes out when the engine starts - how tarty is that ?
I am intersted in a hazard, side light, main beam, horn and rear fog if poss.
let me know.

could you not use a low rated switch and a relay?

Push type washer switches are about Three quid.

Chris

If anyone is still interested in this group buy then please mail me with your order to jfoste32@csc.com as Im ordering them on Wednesday.

Cheers

John

Did anyone buy one/any after the emails?

Cheers

I tried but the email I sent to confirm my order bounced.

Hi Paul,

I can't see how it bounced as this is my e-mail address.

I put an order forward for 12 buttons and they replied that they're suppier had increased they're price, so the new price would need to be £12. I told them to forget it, the price is now to dear. I also mailed the guys saying that it was up to them if they ewanted to go ahead they had the contact details.

So this group buy wasn't as good as the BEC Sproket adaptor one I had going at the same time.

Fancy a group buy on Silicon hoses

would love to but i dont know what ones i need! I suspect i'll need several ones with different ends, cos the corolla radiator looks like it uses smaller pipes.

can i still get one of these?
