    POS FIAT parts. Can this be glued back on? I dont really relish paying $1000 for a 6" long piece of plastic

    Damn... the juxtaposition of the magic of a Ferrari F40 against the reality of needing to replace crappy parts is blowing my mind.

    Can you post a photo? Where did it break --- external or internal to the steering column?

    If it is made of plastic, it can surely be glued back together. Also, I can't possibly believe Ferrari would have made a unique stalk for the F40 --- it's likely used on another car somewhere. Ask Verrell, he may know where else it was used. Also, check all the other F-cars of the same manufacturing era --- 328, 348, TR, 512TR, etc....

    have you tried cross referencing the part, maybe a 308/328 is a direct fit replacement?
