MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Indicator Stalk ?

Hi All

My midget has just failed its MOT :-( as the indicator stalk does not stay down when I indicate right.

Is a new stalk required to fix this is or is there another way?

Leacy have them in stock but I could find lots of ways to spend 50

Thanks for any help

Regards

You can try a used one from a scrappie, should be about 1/2 that price (just make sure it works first).

In my experience, the part that wears/fails is a plastic piece and not serviceable.

I didn't know it could fail on that

May not be the indicator but the trip or cancel stud, possibly, see - http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/acatalog/MGOC_Spares_HORN___SWITCHES___WIRING__MIDGET__154.html

Thanks Nigel

Neither did I!!!

But I wont argue with him as he is generally quite fair.

Thanks for the link, but it appears that altough it is listed, it doent appear to be available.

I will try googling it and another few sites to see what I can find.

BIG ELASTIC BAND inside the cowling maybe. Might add extra "sticktion" to the stalk

OR

try Googling LeaceyMG or the old fashioned way
