G'day Bert
I've used Speco VHT Wrinkle Plus coating with success - it's a US brand I
think but available here in Australia so I guess elsewhere also. I used it
on the cold air box on my BN1.
Holden Vintage and Classic do a rheostat switch - but it's Stg59.00! and the
knob is extra at Stg5.95 and is plain:

I have a used switch with original knob (with wording) you can have for a
few $$ plus freight. Let me know if you want to see a photo
