Indeed, my three stalk column switch assembly rebuilt by Simpson last year is working well. As I said then, the service was excellent and the rebuild high quality, including new plastic fabrications, using modern materials, and stainless steel for the stalks, plus new wiring.

Where along the 210 fwy are you alluding to?

Well, here's the problem with the DB9 weather seal: It is not a solid piece of rubber. It is a thin-walled hollow tube, akin to an inner tube, with a diameter of about one inch.

Company should rename the battery Suboptima.

Thanks to both of you. I'll report back when I have attempted repair.

Indeed, I have Historical Plates, which only allow operation to and from meetings, shows and such events. BUT, talking to many fellow Ferrari owners at shows with CA Historical Plates, not a one was concerned about operating their cars for any purpose, nor had anyone been questioned by the policia. ...

No safety check in California.

Check out Mike Sheehan's site tomorrow (ferraris-online.com): A GTE will be offered.

Tom, Yup, it's pushed down at least an inch and I can't pull it back up, as it's caught in the rubber tube that surrounds it. I was hesitant to pull too hard and either destroy the brass contact disc, or mutilate the soft rubber insulator. Benjamin, The cost was $998. This was a thorough rebuild, in...

Look at the stereotypes who buy new high end lambos, then have them (appropriately described) "Pimped."

I have little in common with them.

TaDa! Switch assembly and steering wheel installed, and....all three functions (headlight, turn signals, and wipers) work as designed. The rebuild seems excellent and sturdy. Only thing i haven't confirmed is trn sig cancellation function. Thanks for tutorial on the key-a little sanding with wet-&-d...
