400 direction indicator switch mechanism

[Julian Caples]

Hi Marcus

If you are not concerned about the self cancelling (timer) the switch can be replaced with a simple manual indicator

Holden Vintage have such a switch (part number 020.071 - manual indicator switch) it's a repro Lucas Item I think.

you will need to use your existing indicator lever, the extension shaft and the joints - these attach to the new switch shaft after you have removed the supplied indicator lever.

changeover is straightforward if somewhat fiddly - you will need to remove the existing switch by removing the binacle from the engine side.

PM me if you need more details

cheers

Thank you Julian and your suggestion and advice my be the best option as I currently have the original 'tired' mechanism in bits on the bench and at least I now have the option of a positive 'on/off' switch as a long stop.

Many thanks
