Does anyone know of a source for an original two speed toggle style heater switch for a 53/54 fresh air heater? (12 volt) None of the online vendors seem to have any.
Thanks,
Steve | | |

I found one for my '51 6V. The switch will work
with either 6 or 12. It's the fan motor in the
heater you will have to worry about. | | |

Thanks | | |
