Does anyone have a spare wiper switch for a 79B?? While I'm at it I should ask about a indicator switch too..

Looking at Moss numbers the answer is no. They all have different part numbers.
Thanks
I think you can use 77-80. I sent out my last complete wiper switch the other day but if you don't find one I may be able to put one together for you with the contact and spring from yours if you still have those pieces. (apparently I took one appart years ago and didn't take steps to keep the parts all together.)

I also have a turn switch with the usual broken high/low pastic piece. I can't imagine that they are of any use but the wiring and contacts are in good condition. Free for the cost of mailing.
Thanks Rick - but the contact is the part that melted to everything else...
The early '70's switches are actually separate units screwed together around the steering column. The later switches are one piece that must be fitted over the column without the steering wheel in place.
IIRC, the wiring is pretty much the same except for on the later cars, the horn is on the end of the turn signal stalk, no overdrive wiring on the wiper stalk and the "intermittent" wiper position. I wired later switches into my early '70's harness for my V8 project. Just had to re-locate the appropriate wires into the plastic plugs.
