A friend of mine in Finland is restoring one of the above (admittedly a car that I am unfamiliar with) He is missing the entire switch assembly from the centre of the steering column. Can anyone suggest a source or another make/model that fitted the same component? It is Lucas manufacture.

Cheers

Paul (pjbeaumont@toucansurf.com) or pm.

Yes Peter, that was my thought when I found that picture! I am hoping someone will prove me wrong!

Basically, a follow on from the SM1500. http://www.singercars.com/profiles/hunter.html

I last saw a hunter about 20 years ago in a rough and ready classic car lot near Daventry. The guy kept most of the cars out in the open although the better ones were kept in a barn. I remember a particularly nice Horch (for runner of AUDI)

The chances of finding a donor car are pretty slim.... however stranger things have happened! You never can tell what will turn up.
I presume you are looking for the indicator switch mechanism?
Something to look out for at Beaulieu perhaps?

I did wonder if there was any similarity to the setup on contemporary Singer Roadsters, but the steering wheel and switchgear look quite different.

Is he in any of the Singer clubs?

There will almost certainly be other Lucas horn/indicator manettes that use the same stator tube diameter and are located with the same flange in the steering wheel.
