    I am almost certain that they are not the same. The closest is the stalk used by the Daytona but even then (depending on the year of Dino) it may require some modification. Later Dino's used stalks similar to those on the 308. It really does vary by serial number.

    A very late car should have stalks that are totally different to the 275. I would suggest referring to the Dino Compendium for exact details. If you do not have it then order it today. No Dino owner should be without it.

    I still have the one I took out of my Euro Dino, replacing it with the proper Euro version column switch assembly (it had the US version when I bought the car). It's in great shape with the exception of a very minor crack in the headlamp twist knob. I haven't put it on eBay yet as I was waiting to replace that twist knob first once able to source one (there are several variations of this knob). As of when I removed it from my Dino, it seemed to be perfectly functional. If my Dino wasn't a Platinum level concours car, I would've kept the US assembly in and saved the expense of replacing it with a correct one.

    As a general interest note, the Euro switch assembly I bought, which was in much better shape than the eBay one referenced, cost me about $800. Fully restoring it cost another $1100 or so.

    Verell has a few switches that belong to me and were sent to him for restoration.
    There are more than I require, as the two for my needs have been restored.
    If you are interested, you might contact him and enquire if any are suitable for your application.

    Regards, Alberto

    dinogtss,
    What is your problem? Do you have a broken switch, missing stalk, or is everything missing?
    I can help with any of the above.

    The Eurospares 103518 appears to be a black stalk switch that was used in 308s. See their picture:

    My records show that at least 1 of swift53's switches should be correct for an E-series Dino. I will take a look tomorrow to verify.

    TLC is right, stalks are corroded, but look like they could be stripped & replated. Headlight & turn stalk pivot(switch) ends show cracking, must be replaced. The cracking is due to the plastic drying out & trying to shrink onto the incompressable metal stalk.
    Hard to tell about the wiper pivot end, but usually when the turn pivot end is cracked, the wiper will be also.
