My POS runs after 6 months! (many pics)
I'm lazy, I only worked on it for about a hour a day once a week or so. I'd forgotten how good Webers sound

I think you have to get the whole universal switch. I did last time it broke. Hit the junkyard and find a FB without the colapsed steering column and snag it. I will later this week.

yes, they have a plastic injected pin in the two parts of the steering column. a blow will break this pin allowing the column to colapse. A safety thing. I have had three cars where this happened without a wreck, I think these things get brittle after a time. The only fix is to pull the column or to get at the column without pulling it, and drill a hole and fit a pin. PITA. be very careful when pulling your wheel or working on your column. Usually if this happens the universal switch gets broke because of the steering wheel canceler thingy protruding too far into the switch.

Looks awesome Felix!
I especially love the rims and the blue/silver housings. It's amazing how roomy the engine bay looks once you get rid of all the stock crap.
