I've always not been happy with the plasticy feel of the switches in the cockpit and wanted something more MG like so I set about making changes.
The wiring was a headache but I got there and am very happy with the results so far. I had to adapt the window switches as the passenger one would not work with the TF wiring, so I simply added a one shot adaption to match the driver side and the wiring was reduced enough to work. Please excuse the heater switches as I'm still waiting for my stainless steel potentiometer switches from Italy. I've just attached these cooker ones whilst waiting.
I’ve changed all to blue LED too which looks cool in the dark.
I’ll post some images of a hard top too that I bought damaged cheap and modded up.
I had to cut away the switch housing and leave a edge to plastic weld the stainless steel panels to.

That does look very tidy with it's toggle switches. Im a fan of subtle retro styling though havent got around to introducing any as yet on my TF

I am going to add the wiring details and process used once it’s finished for anyone trying it themselves. It’ll take the pain out of it that I had to endure as not an expert ….
Appreciate some will hate this mod and want to stay original… each to their own..

Great stuff. It’s good to see folk rolling up their sleeves & modifying their cars to their liking. Plus it’ can be rewarding to show off your ideas & skills, for the most part the only people to see the fruits are your wife/partner & maybe a friend with a passing interest. To post on here will garner approval & could inspire others to have a go; have you done anything along the upgrading lines as we’ve seen here.
I’ll start. The mesh on the side vents we’re looking tatty so ordered some heavier stainless stuff , cut it to shape refitted it with hot glue & trimmed it with chromed strip. When I fitted the 160 air box with the dual air intakes I broke one of the ram pipe bells. I ordered a couple of aluminium offerings & grafted them on.
Anyone else?
