Headlight Dash Rocker Switch Required

Hello to All. 

I need a  replacement rocker headlight dash switch for my 1989 van. 
Tooley Import are out of stock and Volkshome do not have any. 
Can anyone suggest another source please? 

Thanks.  Jim.  Sydney.

Hi Jim,

Jim,

I have a spare headlight switch as I bought one thinking it might be my problem for my high beam issues.

Turns out it wasn't.

I can dig it up if you are keen. It has lost a lot of the white headlight decal ink but it works.

Cheers,

Skot

Hi Scott. Thanks for the kind offer. I will look and see if it is an 8 or 10 pin switch.  Cheers. Jim

Hi Jim,

My switch was from an 89 model too so it should be the same.

I will check it if I can find it my box of T3spare goodies.

I lot of JK stuff is good quality.

I'm sure it will work.

If it fails you have a warranty implied for 12 months or I still have my original factory spare.

Thanks Skott. 
I broke 2 jk T2 drivers door window winder regulators in 2 weeks having to have the 3rd  brazed to equal the original.   That part was a mess yet my T2 door handle is good. Yes, will see how the quality is as you say.  I really appreciate the offer of your German spare.
Thanks again

Hi Skot. 

I only have access to my phone at the moment & cannot access the list of recommended starter & auxiliary 12v batteries for the Syncro.  Would you mind sending me the link  please?  Thanks. 
From memory you had a standout.

Gday Jim,


In case you are interested, I've recently replaced both my AGM starting and AGM Deep Cycle camping batteries in my syncro Trakka from the following supplier in QLD. I'm in NSW so it's no problem for Peter to courier batteries interstate, arrive at your chosen address no problem. I highly recommended Peter as a source for batteries and his excellent service supplying my order.


Have a read here:

Hi Skot. 

I only have access to my phone at the moment & cannot access the list of recommended starter & auxiliary 12v batteries for the Syncro.  Would you mind sending me the link  please?  Thanks. 
From memory you had a standout.

I broke 2 jk T2 drivers door window winder regulators in 2 weeks having to have the 3rd  brazed to equal the original.   That part was a mess yet my T2 door handle is good. Yes, will see how the quality is as you say.  I really appreciate the offer of your German spare.
Thanks again

Hi Jim,

My switch was from an 89 model too so it should be the same.

I will check it if I can find it my box of T3spare goodies.

I can dig it up if you are keen. It has lost a lot of the white headlight decal ink but it works.

Hi Jim,

I use Varta batteries for my cranking and aux batteries.

There are lots of others out there and other members would know better I would assume.

Hi Jim, not so sure on the best battery to get and what style for the house battery, but just had to replace the battery in my 2WD bus. The battery that fits is spec DIN65L MF (picture below from page Ken linked to)

This one lists 750CCA, but 580-600CCA (rating for a starting battery) is typical for this size battery. Size is 278L/175W/175H and has the terminals below the top, and ridge at the bottom to clamp on as in the picture.


One thing I would recommend, this type of battery often comes with a plastic cover that sits over the +ve terminal. Well worth it when a metal cover sits over the top!!


http://www.batteryvalue.com.au/Banner70.JPG



I have the battery out of the Golf in the Syncro for a while with no issue, basically the same battery, just shorter, spec was DIN53L MF and 550CCA.


It's usually recommended to have a deep cycle battery for the house battery, but unless you drain it a long way regularly, I have not had issues using a starting battery in the past.

Hi Richard.  Thanks so much for the very helpful reply. Was looking at 550CCA but I like the idea of a 750CCA starter battery.  Loojing to get a deep cycle this time for the auxillary.
Thanks again.  Cheers. Jim.

Hi Jim,
A 750 CCA starting battery (DIN66) will fit and clearance under the drivers seat but only if the seat is raised because a captains chair metal swivel base is in place. Without a swivel base, then you need to stay with the usual DIN65 sized battery.
Cheers.
Ken

Spot on Ken. On Scott’s recommendation I went for the Varta one a few years ago and it fits under a Just Kampers swivel seat. Still a bit tricky and from memory I took out the swivel to set it all up. Also got a thick bit of rubber to go on top as a precaution. Runs my waeco fridge very nicely.

Peter from Port
