Are they still working? If so do a search on here as a few have posted about cleaning the switches to help them work better.

Achtung Kraft makes some amazing billet levers. I took everything apart, cleaned the interiors of the switch, and installed the new levers. They also give instructions on how to fix the highbeam switch if it is not working. There is not a lot to restore if you just clean things up. Adding the new levers definitely helps as well.

They have been setting in a. Ox for over 30 years so do they work?? they are dirty and a little gummy but they move like they are supposed to and they wires are pretty good I will check on levers as mine do have a lot of surface rust I was thinking just paint the levers black but billet sounds kool

Hi, I would give this guy a try https://www.type356a.com/. His name is Doug Feistamel and he has a good reputation as far as my research showed. He restored my 1972 switches and I was very happy with his work. Be prepared to wait, but as with most specialists, it is worth it.

Hope this helps,
Rick

+1 for Doug. He just restored the turn signal on my 69 911E. Super work plus good communication.
