Mk 1 indicator switch...

Post by sandman »

Is this fixable in any way or just for the bin?
Apart from the broken handle - the switch is fine.... anyone that restore these?

Is it possible to remove/ switch the stalk with another from a broken switch?

I did that also, and I bought one of these:

I don't know if they are same as original or not, but I made the newly epoxyed lever fit that lense

Yep,did the same. The end was 'epoxy-ed' in but you get at least 1 bulb's life out of it. These sort of repairs are quite satisfying when they go right,a whole lot more enjoyable than slapping on a modern repro anyhoo !
