I have a 1974 "L" Type Pantera. The turn signal will not remain in the "locked" position when turning either right or left (i.e., the lever must be held in place manually while the turn is being made). I don't know if the components that should lock and release the arm are broken or just badly worn, but it appears that a used replacement assembly would be somewhere north of $350. Anybody know if the existing signal can be adjusted/repaired, or if I'm going to have to bite the bullet and replace it?

Thanks!

There is a plastic horse-shoe-shaped piece that is part of the turn signal hold/cancelling mechanism. It commonly breaks resulting in just what you have. It is a monumental job to remove & replace the whole switch even if you can afford the replacement. All but the pickiest simply live with it- it seems not to affect the signal's operation to hold it on in a turn. A couple of the vendors are trying to develop a more durable replacement part but I haven't heard much more about the project.
