That's the address given in their '91-'92 catalog I have. I only hope I've
come close to the proper format! Hopefully, one of our English listers will
correct me if not.
They have a very nice line of rocker switches, very suitable in appearance for
what you want (I hate cheesy switches about as bad as anyone!). The have the
bezel, and they also have snap-in inserts with the appropriate symbols - WW
wipers, headlights, horn, etc., and can be backlit as well.
The rocker switches sold by the big three for TR6s do come with the bezels,
although some of them have chrome bezels. The chrome can be removed with car
polish if you don't want the chrome.
