[alfa] Re: 1979 Spider heater lever lamp

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Bill:

All the US consoles I've seen have the hole for the light, but none of the 
Euro consoles I've seen have it.  FWIW, without the hole, who needs the 
light?  Does your console have the third switch below the shifter, or all 
those silly indicator lights for the seatbelts, brakes, etc.?  If not, it's 
a euro part.  My '74 has a hole, but no light, so if you want to sell the 
light, I'll take it for what Centerline charged you + shipping.  Or, just 
get the drills out and make the hole.  I agree that the black faceplate is 
what looks best on a Spider.  Before chrome, there were also some that were 
brushed aluminum, that weren't too bad, though.

Regards,

Dean
