406 trafficator access

[jimfoz]

The trafficator operating lever and shaft have become detached from the switch body on my 406.

It appears that the switch is an aftermarket on/off switch and not the original clockwork switch. The switch itself (enclosed photo), although working, seems to have come off its mounting and is loose so the switch cannot be easily operated.

Is there any other way of gaining access to this switch? I have taken the wood fillet off the top of the dash, but access is tight and there is no way I can see how the switch is mounted. I have tried taking the radio out, but it looks like I need to take the wood facia off for the radio to be removed because of some hidden bolts at the back.

Which is why I thought I would ask here if there was a more efficient way before I start dismantling the whole dash. I even looked behind the screen air intake as I think you can access this way on earlier models, but this looks like an empty plenem chamber with no access.

Thanks in advance
