The springs, balls, buttons and levers are available from Andover Norton as a complete kit for both sets of these switches – dip/main and indicators – so presumably also from whoever you usually buy from. A word of warning though, in the set I bought last year, the holes in the levers were too narrow and shallow to admit the ball, which is essential. Easily drilled out, though. AN agreed about these holes and said they'd quarantine their stock, maybe that's still the case or maybe good stuff's coming through now but caveat emptor. Also I've managed to mangle one of the ball springs before now, it's essential that everything's lined up correctly when you screw the plastic plate back in. About soldering, I managed to fix a loose wire in the indicator switch a few months ago out in the street, using an old-school soldering iron heated by a blow torch, and without a second pair of hands (hence also the mangled spring, that bit's tricky with only two hands, no bench etc.!), so I wouldn't be afraid of it. Good to see someone diving in there!
