Hello everyone,
I have a little 66 Deluxe that has that little green flashing light for the indicators. First thing, what are my chances of finding a replacement? I bumped the damned thing and busted it.
If my chances of finding one are buckley's.... what can i stick back in its place?
Thoughts and ideas would be great. I also want to keep it as close to stock as possible, so removing the indicator stalk and replacing it with a K one or something is something i would prefer not to change.

Cheers,
Damien

Great! Never thought to try Ebay and I am there regularly.
OK so i have the cover and the globe, what about the base. And how does it come off. i tried to screw it off but feels pretty solid. I have a feeling the previous owner may have glued it. To be honest i hate the thing, but its funny how i actually depend on it considering the noise of the car hides the ticking of the flasher can.

Anyways, thanks for that link. Thats certainly a start!

Regards,
Damien

are you sure it isnt soldered cause it may be soldered to the point and will be tough to get off!

The base was soldered yes, but because it has broken clean off the centre came out leaving me with a little bit of plastic left on what looks like a peened surface.
worse case scenario i'll but the stalk if anyone has one.

Why Pay Big Bucks for a snd hand one when you can get a new one landed for less than $160

Cheers
