"It's in the mail"

Ken at Dave Bean Engineering emailed to say that the header and idler tensioner sprocket have shipped!

You may remember the indicator stalk was broken & glued back together. It was giving Bob a lot of trouble, and it was beyond saving. So I went on a mission to find a replacement.

I found Land Rover still uses the Lucas 119 stalk in the Discovery (?). In North America, it's a $200 part, in the UK it's a $25 part. So guess what? I ordered one from the UK.

The very next day, I found a used Cortina MK2 indicator stalk on eBay. This is the very same model used in the Elan. I snapped it up.

Both arrived without drama. And, of course, neither one of them had the correct (bullet) connectors.

Bob took both units apart and examined them. The Land Rover stalk has some major improvements (inside and out) so we decided to go with it. He clipped the ends off, added the bullet connectors, and put everything back together. It's a very nice upgrade and works perfectly.
