Chrome switches for mid 60s CC

Bruce, Just like original!! They have 2 or 3 position available.



switch

Bruce, That's a really tough call. I of coarse would like to say keep it original but then if you must for safety put the blower and bilge pump in then you do need the switches. If you rationalize the originality, you can always say that a marina would have put the pull switches in the dash. A couple thoughts: Nether my 54 or my 64 have blowers and even when I start the 77, I just lift the dog house and smell! It's a lot safer plus what would happen if your hose from the blower fell off and you weren't blowing! The point I'm trying to make is do you really need the blower? Bilge pump? I can't remember the last time I used the pump in my boats! I of coarse do hang or put the boats in a lift so if needed, the bilge plugs are pulled. It gets more water out anyway! If you want to minimumize the hole in the dash, you could put in the 3 position switch and connect the blower and the bilge pump to the same switch but use different positions for the "on".

Bruce,
I installed a bilge blower and pump in my 64. I bought switches from NAPA and used some old metal knobs from a parted-out boat on them. I did have to re-tap the threads on the switch.. I drilled them thru my dash,but its all 'glass, so no big deal.



Excuse the pic, but I think it looks pretty good.

Im with pete on opening the cover before starting...but I also turn the blower on when in no-wake zones.

Bruce,
Looks good... Im with you on the blower and pump, pretty much a necessity in my book also.

My 64 had mis-matched modern/plasic toggle switches when I got it. Couldnt wait to get "era-looking" switches in her.

Hey,is the glass on your wings both the same shape? The drivers side looks like the bottom, back has been re-shaped?

Bruce,
If your interested,email me your address. I can send you a paper template of the ones on my 64. Im pretty sure they are original.
