1986 280i indicator switch

[MCWEDGE]

I disassembled the indicator switch in order to determine why it would not stay in the main beam position. I could not determine the cause, but I have a line on a replacement switch. Now I want to reassemble it, but I didn't take any photos or make a sketch of where the various springs and ball bearing(s) go, which, being 68, I certainly should have. Does anyone have photos or sketches of the guts of the switch that might help me reassemble it? I think this is the same Lucas switch that was used in Triumph TR8 and Rover SD1.

Appreciate any help.

I did the same last year - took one apart that Mark had sent me and was surprised by the number of springs and bearings that flew out of the thing! Took me ages to eventually get it all back together and working, via the "trial and error" method. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos. Sorry.
