My bad luck caused me to break off the tip of the turn signal switch on my Rally 200 (US model). I'm at a loss to find a replacement switch, looks like the originals are no longer in production and I can't seem to find an equivalent that might work. Mine's labeled 'GRABOR 155580'.

I'm posting here in case someone might have one lying about or could point me to a parts source.

My next step might be finding a 3D printer to make the broken part but that's for another day.

Very difficult to find. Try Bar Italia Classics, in Southern California. Kristian, the proprieter; specialized in concours restoration and is very knowledgable on Rally's. He has alot of original spare parts.

the old parts could be used to make a mold, assuming you have the part that broke off.

I do have a friend who has a 3D printer and he'd make the part if needed. We can copy the shape from the non broken part of the switch.

I'm going to contact BarItalia this week, I see they have a switch in stock.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

It's probably worth a call to Kristian/Bar Italia, to confirm stock. you're on the right track! Good luck
