Indicator Stork

The indicator stork end has been falling apart for sometime now and I'm fed up with trying to fix it with glue and tape. This was one of the original parts out of the donor Ford Cortina and was probably manufactured in 1982.


The old stork end is starting to look a bit old from all the use its had over the years.



The end of the switch removed from the stork.

I have gone about replacing the end of the stork the same way I did with the dipstick handle
(see post Saturday, January 19, 2008) with a chrome drawer handle at a cost of £2,03p
Drill a 4.5 mm hole in the side and then tap it out with an M5 tap fit a grub screw and fit it on with a couple of rubber O rings to add a bit of grip. The whole job took me about an hour to do.


The finished stork, the grub screw hidden around the back out of sight.
I'm very pleased with the end result.
