Hi everyone,
Still looking for the centre gubbins for my '34 Aero Minx rebuild. They seem rarer than any other car part. I am looking for any decent prewar horn button / indicator switch assembly, ideally complete with the internal tube that passes down the steering column. I am not even that bothered about it being a genuine Hillman item as I will be using a not-standard vintage, cord bound steering wheel.
Any ideas for likely sources?
Many thanks

Early Land Rovers and P2/P3 had them (Lucas stock part) they turn up on Ebay NOS and S/h but never cheap

Thanks Phil. On the odd occasion I have seen them in the past your are right they are not at all cheap, even ropey ones. I'll keep scanning.

1935 Hillman - A suggestion if I may.

I have fitted after market indicators to all my prewar cars without auto cancel, and have had several very close shaves where I have forgotten to switch the indicators off. I have now fitted a tiny buzzer that makes a racket when the indicators are in use. It drives me mad and guarantees that I don't leave them on longer than I can help. No more nasty frights!
