What Stalk?

Hi Guys,

I could do with getting a new indicator stalk. I would like both indicators, flash and full beam on the stalk. The original one out of my BMW had this, but it has some crazy wiring for the main beam that i cant work out (about 5 wires worth).

Anyone know of anything that has simple wiring and at least these functions? And also something i can modify to easily fit the BMW column and mabye even still have the self cancelling?

My fiesta has a little turn bit on the end for sidelights and low beam, if that could be on there aswell thatd be great.

Cheers guys

Mikkel

How is the sierra stalk mounted? If its fairly simple to modify the mounting to mount on the BMW column, and if the self cancelling function will still work then yeh it would be good

sierra one has what you want and easy to mount. Easy to wire aswell.

Down side there not as easy to come by as they used to be.

I used a Mk4 escort one on my old Phoenix and mateded it to a sierra column using a small ally plate.

Included a hazard button on the top too.
