Alternate Part for 308 Reverse Switch?

I think I already know the answer to this, but is there a cheaper version that maybe comes from Fiat that will work for our 308 reverse light switch?

300 bucks for a simple switch just... yeah.

 

Thanks man I must have been looking at the wrong part number.

This is the one I found, but this looks to be for the QV or 328

Really? "Big boy pants."

Ok, sorry I find it ridiculous that a simple pole switch costs $200.

I find it ridiculous that a Ferrari part that comes in a "horsey box" costs hundreds of dollars as opposed to the same part the is a Fiat part cost pennies on the dollar.

I guess we should get rid of the cross-reference thread about all of the Fiat parts or other parts that cost hundreds less than the absolutely ridiculous Ferrari prices?

There must be a lot of people on here that don't wear "big boy pants."

Or maybe there are people on here that actually don't drink the Ferrari cool-aid and think that the price gouging is abhorrent.

Feel free to spend your money how ever you like. And I'll feel free to spend my money how ever I like? Sound good?

 

We should definitely delete the cross-ref thread for parts then.

If you think paying more for a switch gives you "bragging rights" then I got nothin for ya.

You also know that Enzo had complete contempt for his customers right? Ferrari never even "intended" to sell cars to the public in the first place.

Hell the very reason Lamborghini EXISTS is because Enzo was apparently a jerk to Ferruccio Lamborghini.

It doesn't surprise me AT ALL that there are people with more money than brains. There are plenty of public examples of that. Doesn't mean I want to emulate that.

So like I wrote before... I'll spend my money how I want to and you spend your money how you want to... sound good?

 

I found one for $180

I bought a Fiat switch that would probably work just fine if the threads were pitched the same as the Ferrari part. I could modify it to work with that switch but that's farther than I would want to go to modify the car.

So I'll replace it with the Ferrari switch and if it happens to go out again we'll see. I did see that some parts suppliers had an aftermarket switch that cost around $30 (which is what a friggin simple pole switch SHOULD cost) but apparently it is either on backorder or they aren't manufacturing it anymore.
