Indicator Stalk Problems
Indicator Stalk Problems
Hello All
I need a replacement indicator/dipped beam/horn stalk for my 1978 Dolomite 1850.
The plastic structural parts that support the contacts for the dipped and highbeams are cracked and a bit melted! This is preventing the system from getting a good contact when I switch the headlights on, making for intermitant functioning. In particular my dipped beams don't want to come on when the rotary dial is selcted to the correct position. The high beams work fine however.
I have cleaned and tightened the contacts a couple of times now but the plastic bits that hold them together are looking a bit fragile now, and I don't think I will be able to get the switch on the stalk to work properly again.
Do the TDC or any memebrs have a spare Indicator stalk that I can purchase?
The one on Rimmer Brothers is really expensive (£71 inc VAT).

never was the best of Lucas products.
As an off chance, you could try the triumph chap who lives near Leicster who's name I can't remember! (does a lot of fwd stuff)
