340 Switch gear
340 Switch gear
Hi, I'm looking for some switch gear for my new car. The indicator stalks seem a bit floppy and I'd like to tidy the interior up a bit. Anyone got some, thats the indicator and wiper stalks on the switch. Thanks.

Re: 340 Switch gear
It may not be the stalks themselves but the piece that they attach to.This black plastic mounting slides down over the steering colum,so if you need to change it then you have to take the steering wheel off.Theres a quick fix by making a small strip of aluminium or thin sheet steel that you can fix to the top or the bottom of the plastic mounting to stop them wobbling about but i think its best to find a non broken one and do the reinforcing at the same time you fit it.
Gad i ganu.....?
Re: 340 Switch gear
the screws in mine just needed tightening.
but i need to change the black plastic part due to a snapped horn contact, couldn't get it off my mates, how does it come off?

On the bottom there is a plug.
Remove the steering wheel and the pin and it will slide off.

Re: 340 Switch gear
Thanks for the advice! Sorry I didn't say sooner, I completely forgot about the post! 
Re: 340 Switch gear
Early cars have a metal piece, and it makes the stalks feel much more like a 'Volvo'. I'm going to copy the bit from a 343 for mine.

FJ may mate. 'That' silver 343 had the setup. Same stalks, just different bracket, and far superior.Chris_C wrote:Really? Didn't know that! Got a pic?
If he doesn't, I will get one, as like I say, I want to copy it. Everyone should - before we exhaust the used stalk supply for no real reason!
