Is there an easy overhaul ,it will not lock in the position I am turning. And I read European is different than the U.S. model. I have a 67 250 sl european model.

I believe the column lever switch is the same for USA and Euro cars. Euro cars have the "Passing Flasher" activated while USA cars have this function disconnected.

Here's the Tech Manual section about repairing the lever.

I worked on it today just cleaned it slightly lubricated it  and put it back together and it seems to work O.K..It worked fine before I took the car apart to repaint it. Now are there any rubber boots left to cover the turn signal lever.  And thanks for the info
