Mk1 Indicator Switches

Post by nick rogers »

I have quite a lot of these with a wide range of dates, but all need new stalks. The black plastic ends are broken, faded or missing altogether and the chrome on the stalks is flaking off. The working parts are usually very good. So my question is; can we get just the stalk from the manufacturers ?

Hi Nick, do you have a 10 61 or 11 61 available? If so, I would be interested, even in the current condition. Thanks.

Could you not make stalks from polished stainless?

Coopersean, i'll try to check a few dates but it might take a while. I have 37 of them.
Stuart, probably yes but the black bit with the green lens and bulb holder at the end will be more difficult.

Hello Nick
Not sure how you add links in the forum, but if you paste in the below it should work. There was a guy in Australia making the black ends.

Yes sorry. I have yet to get back to them to check but I think all the ends were broken.

Pity really. That's about 263 more than I need.

I'm thinking something similar. 3D printers are cheap now so maybe I should put one on my shopping list. It could be another thing for us to restore along with heaters, wiper motors, columns, speedos etc.
