I am trying to get all the correct pieces for my new 71 and one thing i am missing is the ashtray/ switch unit that sits in the center console above the fuse box, I have several in the garage but unsure which actually goes to the 71 year. Love to see a pic of the correct unit intact so I can hunt for all the right stuff , thanks in advance Jeff

I think this is what you are looking for, seerex. The very first ash trays were grey plastic painted black and later ones were black plastic. All the same design up to 8 / 71; 96500-E4101.

Thank you very much

Of topic slightly here guys.

26th-Z, so does that explain why my centre console is grey under the choke and hand throttle plate. Did these come as grey and then sprayed black????

James,

I'll have to look at mine, but I wouldn't be surprised.

They wouldn"t have "come" (as in being grey when the car was delivered to the dealer) in grey. They may have been moulded of grey material and painted black in the finishing of the component.

Yes, molded in grey and painted black finish

Thankyou....another mystery solved.......I love this site!
