Herald / Vitesse column stalk replacement ends?

[Colin Lindsay]

Does anyone have a source for replacement ends for column lightswitches and indicator switches? I have a number of broken ones and it would be nice to replace them.

i think you need to fettle one from a block of plastic

I can find knobs on tinernet but not for stalks

I removed one from a broken stalk, softened the glue in boiling water. It came off easily, but went from black to grey in the water... I can repaint it but it would be nice to find a supply. 

I have replacement ends for Minis somewhere about, they make the stalks longer plus have better grips, but they don't match the Herald ones.

We have a bag full of new ones somewhere. I have always put a couple of new ones on every car we restore, nice finishing touch. Pop us an email if you still need.

I will; thanks! It's just one of those things that niggles at me, that I have a drawer full of stalks, some even new and never fitted, but the ends are discoloured or broken.

Lockdown is certainly making work for idle hands....
