Indicator stalk - US bus

[Marriedblonde]

I am in need of an indicator switch for my 69 bus. Its a us import. I've taken mine apart and it has been repaired a fair few times already and is beyond repair now.

So who sells the best?

Thanks,

J.

How many wires does your present switch have?

Probably why its been repaired in the past - could maybe try http://www.karmannkonnection.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They were selling them 3 years ago - maybe still do ?

Otherwise its maybe a case of phoning a few places that do second hand stuff (breakers).

I've heard them new switches at 130 are pretty **** and fail as well, I read a thread on TLB where people had gone through several of them

Currently there are several used ones on thesamba.com @ $100.

Hi J

I have just posted a question in "Technical" regarding the indicator stalk (I have a us import also). I don't suppose any of your fixes dealt with my problem.

any help would be appreciated.

Kk ones are indeed crap,buy a mid one from kieftenklok think it cost me 200 but worth it

I got a kit car one off ebay for £25. Pain in the arse to fit but works well

The Repro ones they all sell I think are made by EIS in the states, they are not great and to make matters worse the last one I had from heritage didnt come with any wiring guide and they have changed all the colours around, god knows why. Ended up rebuilding an old one as it was going on a 72 which is different again, only has 5 wires. I've got one on my bus and fitted them to other buses so they do work but its not as straightforward as it should be.

If you want that one James happy to do a good deal with you since you helped me out recently?, could bring it with me tomorrow night and see what you think?
