Title: Wanted: Indicator switch for 75
Post by: GTVeloce on March 13, 2013, 09:02:13 AM
Hi all

I am in fairly urgent need of an indicator switch for a 75. I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) there will be any difference between the models but mine is an 89 TS. All was going well and then a little zzzt and no indicators. Hazards still work fine but they are not much good when trying to drive to work!

Also, long term, has anybody had any success in rebuilding these?

Thanks

I managed to make one good one out of 2 broken ones. They're quite easy to pull apart, you need to drill out the 4 hollow rivets holding the 2 halves together and replace them on re-assembly with socket cap screws and nuts (M3 or M4, I can't remember). Just be careful when you split the halves, there is a compressed spring inside. 

They are physically the same but will have either white or orange markings.

...Or order one of these:

I fitted one over a year ago and it has been excellent.

Cheers,
Alan

I can whip the one I do not need out of my 75 and send it to you?
