Will it fit?!
« on: 16 April 2008, 12:51 »
Can anybody tell me if MK3 indicator/wiper stalks will fit on a MK2 column?!

Has anyone tried and tested this?  :huh:

I did this and found the hazard switch VERY fiddly to swap over. Its easy enough but the plastic had gone brittle on mine.

sounds like a lot of effort for not much gain.

I prefer the look of the Mk2 switches, but the Mk3 one's have better "feel". I swapped as I got fed up of turning my main beams on when all I wanted to do was flash someone (ahem!).

...The funny part of the above is that a day after fitting the Mk3 stalks, smoke started billowing out of the steering column - The Mk3 switches had melted from a short circuit. Cue ebay refund and putting the Mk2 stalks back on!!
