Early switches wanted (with switch marking rings)

I butchered my switches and need new ones. I never had the early switch marking rings, so need those too.

Yes, I know the marking rings are hens teeth...

This is for a driver, not a show car.

Thx Jim, if I have to I will buy the "close to original" KIP switch plastic tags but I will still have to either make my own switch toggles to use my butchered switches OR get some used switches. I'll give it another day or so before I give up.

There is a partial set of exactly what I need on ebay UK but the seller wont post to the US.

FWIW, I bought a set of the KIP bezels about 10 years or so ago for a friend of Michael King's in Australia and was not impressed with them. So much so that I sent the first set back. The second set was better, but still I didn't feel like they were worth what KIP was asking.

I have some for my S3 and, following something posted here a long time ago, I soaked them in brake fluid. The black paint came off the back very cleanly, didn't touch the chrome and left a very nice finish. I'll re-paint the backs before I install them, but it did do a nice job of resurrecting my originals.
