WTB: TCS Steering Column Switch Gear

(1/3) > >>

Bryan Boyle:
Hoping someone is breaking a TCS...I'm looking for the directional/wiper/horn switch assembly (Part #9 on page HA of the TC parts manual, part # 074M6019W) in good condition, or, perhaps, the whole column/switch assembly in useable condition (Item 8 on same page...I can/will refurbish).  Federal, obviously...cash in hand, etc.

Triumph Spitfire.

Can’t recall exactly, but the switches from a period Spitfire were somewhat different from my 74 TCS. Think the turn signal cancel was different and the mounting plate too. Had to swap the plate and cancel from old to new drilling out rivets and replace with screws/nuts. The wiper switch is different too, maybe the year I got as wrong, but the wiper speed locations on the stalk were different. I found that a 1972 Austin Marina wiper switch was a direct replacement, Lucas # 39819.

FourLoti:
Coincidentally, I just (stupidly) had mine apart ('74TCS) and had to teach myself how to put it back together. That Rimmer part in the 2nd link looks similar, but the devil is in the details. See below. First, the TCS connector is square, not boat shaped and, more problematic, the self-cancelling cam collar spool on ours protrudes less and has a thicker wall in order to reliably catch the thin roll pins on our steering wheels. I don't think that black one would work.

I have always found that buying old parts that are really old can normally lead to more frustration and lengthy time delays. buy from a trusted source and if it doesn't fit you can always send it back for a refund
