Anybody,



Please help!!!  My turn signal assy is  broken.  It's off the steering 
column
now.  I please need a  another one to replace the one that is broken.

I need one in good  working order.  My vw is a 71 squareback.  I cannot 
drive
it  anywhere in that condition.  The ball bearing, springs, and  grounding
brass metal straps all came out of its housing.  Plus  something from the
assy went flying across my garage as it fell out. The  plastic is cracked in
two pieces.  It's junk.

Who can  help,  where can I get a good working one?  ASAP!   Thanks.




Find a 72 unit, separate the wiper assembly from the turn signal switch.  
Then use the turn signal mounting sleeves (4 tube shaped pieces) from the old 
71  unit in the 72 unit. re-install. 
I've done this mod to several 71's and a 70. It works, and uses cheaper  
available parts. I still haven't figured out another use for the 72 wiper  
switch. ;^) So far, it just becomes spare parts that you give to a late bug 
guy.  :p
