Hi Club,
Just bought a '71 1.7, with lotsa lotsa problems. Turn signals today: TS stalk just dangles, obviously need new one. Nobody seems to have them, but '72-up available. Possible? What about rebuild? Any advice helpful. |

IIRC, 70 & 71 are different from later years. I hear there's not enough room to use the later ones. Too many wires or something. 71's will also need to have the wires spliced for replacement since there's no connectors. You can change out the steering column fairly easily if you really want to put the later ones on. Personally, I'm taking the later one out of the 71 I'm working on, so I can put a stock 71 one back in. Call me strange, but I like to keep the early ones as stock as I can. There's a used switch in a box at Cap'n Krusty's if you're looking for one. Email or PM him.
