Re: Floorboard screws

The floor board is held in by 1/4 Whitworth set screws. On my DB18 Ritz each screw had a countersunk washer.

Re: DB18 Interior Light Switch

Thanks Mike,
I had searched through 15 pages of car interior light switches and not noticed this one, so have asked the vendor if he has more than one .

Had already asked Rolls Royce Contacts and they did not know of anything.
