Morris Minor Owners Club

The end of my choke cable and start pull have broken ends where the letters would be, are replacement ends available with S and C. and how are they to held on.

They are available, but only it seems with the switch mechanism - but not a great match. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/2091264322?iid=283899738511

This starter cable is on e bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353885504906 ... Sw-yph-FDs

Auto jumble is probably the best place. I am not sure the choke and possibly the starter bakelite heads come off like the lights and wipers though.

Found the complete starter pull with cable on ESM website , cheaper new than ebay used but can't find just the nob, need to look if grub screws hold them on like the other switches, thought someone will know Or maybe just fill the holes in ends, just thought if easy to swap just for cosmetic reasons.

The others are on a hex stem with a ball-clip which when depressed relates the knob from the stem. Not a grub screw as far as I recall.

The knob was never available at a seperate part and is firmly fixed in production - unlike the wiper and light switches. If you want complete originality you'll have to do some digging and ring/email round the specialists and buy good secondhand items. Easy enough to replace the whole cable

Thanks that's what I needed to know, not bothered enough to replace whole cables, may try to fill the holes

You can fill them with Milliput putty, paint them, use a stick on letter finally a coat lacquer.

Thanks Kevin, ordered Milliput in black, not bothered about lettering

Just to confirm what others have indicated, the tops are very different.
The Choke and Starter are both fixed to the cable in manufacture, a new cable therefore comes with a new top.
The Lights switch top is removable and is held in place by a spring loaded catch.
The Wipers Knob simply unscrews.

So the 2 you have broken are resolved by changing the cables.
