What Lies Within?

[Nigel Mulvey]

Over the past few months the indicators (turning lights) on my 240 have gradually ceased to function. Having read other posts, I decided to pull apart the indicator stalk assembly and clean the switches up a little - low and behold the indicators have started to work again albeit somewhat randomly. The only thing I didn't do was take apart the little contact assembly which clearly is the bit that needs a good cleaning. Because this small assembly is held together with a couple of tabs I didn't want to go pulling it apart and find that I couldn't reassemble the damn thing.

Can anyone tell me what is inside there? Is it straight forward to take apart and re-assemble or am I going to be confronted with fiddly little parts that I can't put back together or worse still - lose.

There must be a reason that the switch mechanism was assembled this way. I'm just wondering if it was to keep enthusiastic amateurs like me well away from it!

Thanks in advance!
