Re: Indicator arm
The beetle indicator switch has a housing that is an exact fit with the bottom of the Motolita boss. It fits on the outer tube of the column and fastens with a single screw. It is neccessary to remove the cancelling lug in the column and replace it. I think most of us use a correctly positioned cable tie! Personally I find the horn button on the back of the indicator switch works fine and is OK. I sprayed my boss to achieve the same finish as the switch, and it looks great.
Re: Indicator arm
Thanks Allen I guess most people don't use centre horn push, I was trying to make it look like early cobra with indicator on horn push but decided too expensive so have gone half way maybe I will just make a cooling up if I can't get the vs switch to connect to the mgb horn ring. Cheers
Re: Indicator arm
Dave Whitty sorted the indicators and horn push with a bluetooth system, which is beyond me technically, but obviously works. It's on his build site on here. hope that helps? Cheers Ken

Re: Indicator arm
I was under the impression that the switch on the underside of the indicator arm is for headlight main beam not horn. That's how it functions on Beetles and Karmann Ghias
If possible get a used VW assembly rather than a repro one, as the repro are absolutely abysmal and it's really hit or miss if it works as it should, ask me how I Now grrr!!

Re: Indicator arm
From memory Tony you also have the Ace style steering wheel which I guess was used on the first few Cobras ( 260 ci )
For the Mk2- 289 the main/dip switch should be a P6 Rover unit on the RH side of the dash. I have written an article on mounting it a while back. It does make getting into the car a little more difficult!
As per Allan the button on the reverse of my indicator stalk is the horn.
If you want the button to be the dip switch then I think you will need a suitable latching relay.

Re: Indicator arm
This is the dash of an original 260 Cobra.

Re: Indicator arm
Dave Whitty's scheme for rigging this up using wireless looks pretty interesting. I just found his photos - click here and scroll down a little to the 12th December entry: http://g4fev.atspace.com/hawk2.6.htm#winter
It looks like the place he bought the RF modules from has since disappeared from the internet though.

Re: Indicator arm
Clive, do I assume that the knob on the horn push will be the indicator and thus no stalk.

Re: Indicator arm
I think it is the trigger on the top of the horn push.
Cheers, Clive.
