    Anyone have a source for the turn signal / lights steering column switchgear for a Countach?

    Part no. is 004320773, but I understand it may be NLA.

    Thanks to all.

    Can the switch be opened and repaired with new parts? I found a 163sa Lucas unit (new) but the unit only has a turn signal / light switch, no wiper switch. If the internals are the same a fix may be possible if I cannibalize the new car new one.

    Kinda like so. Also if you find the complete turnlight unit, it's likely the connector would not fit any.

    I got one from a classic Mini (lucas unit) brand new a few years back for about $60. Wiring and switches were the same but the pin positions on the connectors were different. Just had to take time to ohm it out to figure out which wires did what and move the pins around. There was also a reason I had to disassemble the unit to change something over, but cant remember what it was exactly ??? If you need the part # I can dig up the receipt.

    Just came to me , the cancelling cam size on the lucas unit was too small. I used the main housing and cancelling cam from the lambo and transfered all the switches from the lucas unit.

    Thank you. My lever is also sloppy, I always leave it forward to avoid accidental contact. I just ordered one, will be good to have on hand.

    Did you also replace the wiper stalk as well? Looks like they carry that as well.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login MiniSport has this neat little chart showing the differences in the turn signal/wiper stalks used on the Mini, TR-7, TR-8, Rover, etc... . Pretty obvious which one is like the Countach. :)
    (BAU5345 and BAU5346)

    I just ordered a set. Mine are not broken, just loose. So, I may just take parts and pieces from one or the other. I’ll make some side-by-side photos of the new units next to the old ones to show any similarities or differences. Can’t go wrong with the price...

    The turn signal, horn, flasher stalk was: $30.44
    The Wiper stalk was: $26.49
    Shipping from the UK was about $17.00
