[WorcsWuss]

No... it's a steering wheel centre for a series 1 [?] with a dip switch in it....

 

later ones had a button on the floor I think before it ended up on the stalk....

It was a pIg to use, dipping lights on a twisty somerset lane. Having to take one hand off the large wheel, with no power steering and fumble for the switch. In the winter you probably had thick gloves on as the heater was rubbish(if you had one) and that bakalite wheel was bloomin cold.It was easier not too dip and it did not matter too much as the lights were too dim to dazzle much, and there were not too many cars around in those days anyway. The floor switch was brilliant.

 

Nostalgia, best forgotten.

Does that stand for 'Pain in Lower Gut' or did you think the swear filter might block the word pig?
