Turn signal indicator stalk interchange 40 series with 60 series (1 Viewer)

[FJville]

Has anyone swapped out their FJ45/FJ40 indicator etc stalk for a later model one?
Looking to get one from a 1980's FJ60 which also has the wipers and headlights on it to use on my 1976 FJ45 and eliminate some of the push pull switches from in the dash (as P.O. has already butchered the standard dash anyway).

I have been tempted myself, so just had a play in the garage.

Looks like it would be too much work to make it fit. That's a 70 unit and it's thinker and wiDer so I dont think you will get the most steering wheel back know on or the shroud around the column back on.

Worth a try

Cheers for taking a look Tom.
I have heard of it being done, so someone must have figured a way once upon a time. I wonder if replacing the whole assembly with the key barrel, shroud etc would work? Or even going one further and swapping out the whole shaft/column?
