Need help finding Innocenti part

Hello,
I have a 1974 Inno 1300 Export and I need help finding some parts that have to do with my turn signals, which are not working.

One is called an "AXE 273 / Switch - direction indicator" in the manual and is the entire assembly that goes on the steering column.

The other part is a relay that controls the flashing of both the hazards and the turn signals - I can't seem to locate even a part
number for it. It looks like a tiny black box with six spade connectors sticking out and is located under the dash directly above
where the steering column go into the body of the car.
Any suggestions?
I thank you so much.

Is the Innocenti turn signal switch different than the non-Inno version?? I bought a NOS (new old stock) turn signal switch for my '73 MKIII mini just a couple of years ago from one of the online vendors. I wouldn't think it would be Inno-specific but it could be I guess.

Good luck with your hunt!

Thanks for the reply, Jeff.

Yes, it is different. Although some (many) parts are interchangeable, there are some parts particular that are to the Innos.
Unfortunately for me, this is one of those!

I may consider swapping out the entire she-bang for a British one if it comes down to it; if I cannot source the Inno parts at all. That would be a much bigger deal to do.
This is my first foray into the classic car world, luckily my husband is rather handy, especially with electrical matters. In addition, we have made the acquaintance of a seasoned Classic Mini hobbyist mechanic who only lives 6 miles away, so we are not out to sea just yet!

Thanks again!

I've emailed:

MiniMania

and 4 or 5 ebay sellers. No luck.

Have you tried Torsten Shaumann at Innocenti Mini Bits in Germany? http://www.innocenti-mini-bits.de/

He has a lot of stuff, but don't count on getting it cheap. There were also reproductions of the switches available a few years ago, I will try and figure out where I got mine from.

Also you might check the Innocenti Mini Forum if any of those (mostly British) members have something: http://specialistminiforums.yuku.com/forums/4

Now, does anyone have a lead on the brass plate and spring for the horn button?
