Broken Turn Signal Spring NLA from Porsche

[Bob Schaefer]

Hello -

The turn signal switch failed recently on my '67 911S. (Both signals work, but the lever no longer returns to the neutral position and just hangs in the 'left turn' position.)

The single extension spring #5 in the drawing below is broken, and the dealer says this spring is no longer available.

Anyone know of a source? ...or come up with a functional substitute? ...or have an incomplete turn signal assembly suitable for scavenging?

I bought one of the other springs (#4) for the assembly in hopes it might work, but it's a different design and doesn't do the job.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try McMaster Carr. Their website is great and they have all sizes of springs.

Aase Sales has a set of the three springs - http://www.aasesales.com/products/h5e-101686

I went through 2 switches also and had to fix wires - unfortunately they are junk and that appears to be all that is available.

My turn signal works but the spring feel is very weak. Is this related to tired springs? Can these springs be replaced in situ or does the unit have to be removed from the column?
