I posted some pics of my (formerly) spare TS switch for my ’71:

I am looking for another NOS unit as a spare.  I think they may one-year only, but maybe that’s the ignition switch only, not other parts of the column assembly.  Anyone know for sure?  Anyone got a NOS spare?  I tend to keep one set of common failure parts, and those fragile plastic tits are a weak point.  I lube them and touch them gently, but you know… sometimes they are sensitive...

Like I posted, I was a little surprised to see the three extra contacts and wires for the Euro parking lights.  Do all switches come with them, and they just aren’t connected on USA models?  Or did I get a Euro switch?

Those broke plastic tit parts are great candidates for a metal printed part.  The touch part would be getting the dimensions.  But then even a file-to-fit aluminum part would be an improvement.

Thanks,
-Phil
