Hi,

Would anyone know where or how I might be able to acquire a pair of the alloy indicator stalks as seen deployed in this rather nice interior?
The owner can't help unfortunately but it has been suggested that there may have been a bulk purchase some time ago? If anyone has any available or can point me in the right direction or even has any other suggestions / solutions that would enable me to do away with my current plastic ones please shout.
Cheers
Guy

They were fitted as standard on my T350c - think they stopped as a cost cutting measure later in 2005? They are 'just' sleeves that fit over the plastic stalks wink

Good to know Purple, thanks. May be worth phoning breakers then.

Unless anybody has a spare pair??

Very very rare.

TrackVRoad did get some made up by a bloke they knew (retired Engineer).

In case anyone else is interested i tracked down these from Racetech Direct and ordered a pair. Should be with me next week.

They seem to be (and RTD have confirmed) virtually identicle to those that TVR used before cost cutting on the later cars kicked in.

Just to advise. I received mine from RaceTech today. Very pleased.
Good quality, very close to the TVR originals.

Mine arrived today in Sydney.

What is required for fitting? Not looked yet.

Well fitting these was a nightmare.

Take out of packet, slot onto old stalk, done.

I needed a smidgen of super glue on the wiper one as it was a tiny bit lose but other than that perfect.

Makes all the difference too. Best £95 I've spent in a while.

Mine was actually cheaper than that, as I saved on the VAT!
