Parts Help!!

Hey there Z enthusiasts,
I am restoring a 78 280 and I need some electrical components. Namely a turn signal switch and a combination switch for the lights/wipers. I called the dealer and they quoted $216 and $257. That is way more than I am willing to pay. Any ideas??

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks folks, I have ordered a catalog, but it is going to take 1-2 weeks for it to be delivered. Can anyone give me the parts number so I can order and have it shipped sometime this week? I am in a bit of a crunch. I bought this car, and was told it was mechanically sound, the fuel injectors are shot and the turn signals and lights do not work. I am replacing all the fuel injectors and these switches and the guy I bought the car from is reimbursing me!! His customer service is awesome, I just want to get them in so he can reimburse me ASAP. Thanks againf or your help!

Terry

Victoria British 1-800-255-0088

Part # 71-713 Turn Signal/Dimmer Switch (78 280Z)
Part # 71-691 Wiper/Headlight Switch (78 280Z)

BTW, I've ordered over 30 parts from VB this year alone -- absolutely no complaints, and shipping was fast.

I didn't like the vinyl seat kit they sent me either! I sent it back. I almost ordered the weather stripping!

victoria british has lost all my respect after the weatherstripping they gave me. Their parts are reman. by them. MSA's are genuine...they'll fit right.
I think you might be a little too harsh on VB. I'm almost positive I've seen the same kit, at the about same price, sold by various other zcar places too. If you want OEM pieces, you'll pay for it.
