Nice work on the headlight switch. I need to drill out and replace that indicator cancelling pin too. I would highly recommend installing a pair of headlight relays too, one of my headlight switches had a partial meltdown

Clever and thorough work; thanks for sharing.

I had to do similar with the stalk on my 155 (though I had replacement innards from a spare stalk I bought). Always fun opening up a casing and have springs pop out.  :P

Good old Uncle Joe at "Many Millions" offered me a new one in the plastic bag and all for only $450, but that was a year or two ago, who know's what he would want for it now. I think I've ended up with one of Dom's recos via Milano's, still works to this day, cheers mate

Mate, looking at the photo's you put up about fixing the switches, it doesn't look like you fixed much internally or their commons faults.

I've reconditioned these switches for a couple of years now and never had any problems and have always replaced the internals with new better parts.

I can get 3 switches for the same money as well, but they will be second hand and probably break/stuff up like the rest of them.

Thanks Anthony, you probably do have one i reconditioned for Marc. Uncle Joe would probably want twice that now, but then again it is "genuine"

How's the 75 going at the moment?

Nice.

So what have you had to do with the internals? Swap over which parts? And what's the plan with the piping to make it fit the car?

Is it meant to definitely make a noticable difference? I wonder if anyone's dyno'd such a mod.

Cheers. Good work.

It'll be interesting to hear if you think it's made a difference. Though it could be hard to assess if you haven't driven the car much.  :P
