(non-Lotus) Classic Mini column stalks

Post by amarshall »

Bit of a long shot, but the dip/main beam ratchet on my Westfield's column stalks (!) has broken.

I don't suppose anyone here happens to have a set of Mini column stalks kicking around anywhere ?

It's a Mk IV mini unit, but I should be able to make any Mini stalks work with a bit of swapping around at the plug end.


(yes, I know that 7s don't usually have column stalks, but it's actually quite easy to fit and they do make it so much easier when swapping cars in the middle of the day)

Thanks for the tip. I managed to get something almost suitable from ebay and have cannibalised it to get the old setup working again.

I'll be able to start a new business refurbishing old bits of british car switchgear soon.
