    The plastic post on the Borletti AC fan switch in my GT/4 snapped. There isn't enough left to reattach to so I'm looking for a replacement. The Ferrari piece is NLA and a used one is rather pricey.

    Assuming that there's no clearance issues will an off the shelf three position 12V switch work?

    Thanks,
    David

    Just google "three-speed 12v universal automotive rotory a/c switches" I did twice just now, I know this works. Jq.

    Robbie or Dave, the sticky guys, can probably repair the original switch for you.

    Thanks.
    Right now I'm looking for a generic short term alternative but if it can be fixed it would be great.
    The switch itself works it's just the plastic bit that's damaged so a repair sounds feasible. Perhaps with a metal post this time.

    Thanks again. They want pics so fingers crossed.
    Apparently the piece was used in Volvos as well but it's NLA from them too.
