Was just driving a Inno in Italy with a broken hi/lo switch. I assume these are impossible to find as well. They are the same side as the directional stalk. Interesting setup.

The '70s Innocenti turn signal switch and the associated steering column wiring are unique and I believe they have never been reproduced. If you every find a wrecked Innocenti these, along with the tail lights are the first things to salvage.

Kindof a jerk response don't ya think? (u havin a bad day?)

Not only that, where's the OP s'posed to get a new stalk for a 72 Inno? (surely they're different from British built, no?)

I have a 1972 Innocenti Mini. I broke off the turn signal lever. There was the lever, a broken off piece of plastic, and the part on the steering column. The last part included switches and didn't look easy to replace. I super-glued the lever to the broken off piece. (I always wear plastic gloves. Otherwise I tend to glue my fingers together.) Then I glued the combined pieces to the piece in the car. I was sure it would break immediately if used. So after the glue dried I added a little more glue and wrapped black thread around the combined pieces. A bit more glue soaked into the thread nicely. After letting it dry each time, I repeated this 3 or 4 times so there were a few dozen turns of super-glue impregnated threads around the repair. It's worked perfectly and the repair is almost invisible!
