[nilza]

just an FYI for those with '72-74 indicator problems

Cheap for a couple of bucks, means you may be able to fix those old indicator stalks

My guess is that Nilza will 3d print the part in the switch box that cracks. If that is the case, we will need a good write up/pics of the inside of one of these evil bastards. I tried to open a broken one, and a mini explosion of parts went all over, with no hope of me putting them back where they belonged. maybe I opened it upside down, and they wanted to pop out, I don't know. that's why we would need a write up

Sorry guys I messed up the link the first time,

They are indeed a pain to fix, at least if you are game to give it a go you can get hold of the parts for a few bucks now.

Hi all,

So I have a '73 and was told (I have no idea) that '73 is a "one year only" part.. so would this work on mine (because it needs darn near everything)?

New guy, here, familiar with all things automotive but am learning every day about our newish (to us) resto bus.

Thanks,
Mikey

[alman72]

^yup. for 73. Saying one year only is kind of not correct, but it is the only year that is a full year. I have seen a few late 72 and early 74

[vwwestyman]

Alrighty, I just ordered both pieces. Excited to give this a try!

Greetings all. Guys, how do I get one or all of these parts? Can anyone tell me if the stalk can be reattached to whatever it originally attached to? Ummm.... and how?

Thanks much,
Mikey

I just rebuilt 2 of these. what a nightmare, but they seem to be working. I will test them someday.
