    needs to be replaced. Connection is loose and looks like it'll fall off or break. Part is not available anymore so my option is to find a donor car for the part. Are there any other options? Btw here's my car.

    You need to contact Verell. He is the only guy that I am aware of that can rebuild them entirely. He actually breaks off the crumbling remains of the stalk that are broken then remolds entirely new plastic on there with a mold from the right model year. The also puts fiberglass fibers in the plastic, so it is stronger than original. He did the light stalk on our Mondial last year. A first class job. His price is way too reasonable too.

    Verell, yoo hooo...ya out there?

    Hello,
    I'm sure I can help you. I've been repairing column switches since 2002 for customers all over the world. This thread shows some of my more interesting recent work:

    Headlight (aka: Column, Cluster) Switch & Switch Stalk Repair
    http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21548

    Breaking my turn signal stalk back in '02 directly restulted in my starting Unobtainium Supply! Actually had the inspiration while posting to this Fchat thread:

    ADHESIVE FOR REPAIRING COMBINATION SWITCH??
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/256120/107784.html

    Send eMAIL:
    TO: [email protected]
    SUBJ: Column Switch Repair

    & I'll send you a price list & shipping information.

    CAUTION:
    Don't keep using the switch. If the pressure on the contacts gets too light, or the contact arm breaks off & one of the contacts shorts out, enough heat can be generated to ruin the contacts, ruin the main switch body, or even start a small fire!

    I can make new contacts, but they aren't cheap.(See the first thread in this post). I have a master part, so could make a main switch body mold, but it would be a very expensive part to replace.

    Regards,
    Verell
