    Greetings! I know the B Station part is unobtanium but I am working with a CAD designer who can take an intact piece and 3D draw it and then we can have the part 3D printed.

    The top tabs break off and I need a intact sample to send him so we can measure and scan it to make them exact.

    If anyone has one they are willing to send me I’d appreciate it. I’d like to be able to 3D print replacement casings or anyone who needs one.

    Here is the part

    when you are looking for something and also like to send this part to you it would be good - even you are a member since 5 years - if you first can introduce yourself a little, fill out your profile that we know where you are located. thank you

    I think they are different, but not sure. have a look at the original photo here. looks not if they could be used for both sides

    While researching, calling and emailing I did see some sites offered 2 parts numbers. But most only had 1 part number. I have not even able to find one in stock anywhere or successfully locate a used one.

    The particular one I am trying to fix is passenger side.

    I’ll fill out the profile when I get to a PC. 99% of the time I’m on Tapatalk since I am not on a computer.

    My name is Jamie, I purchased Shamiles 1991 Testarossa. I am located in California, love long runs in the mountains and fast planes and cars .

    So... Jamie...

    Did Shamile include a copy of his contact list with the car?

    ;)

    Further research shows that for 1987 Testarossa they have 2 part numbers, 61560700 and 61560800.

    61560800 shows B Station LH Side for U7 Region

    Then for 1990 Testarossa model year all parts just show 61560700. This is the same for the 512TR.

    No worries! Get ready to be bombarded with questions. One thing about me is I just like things to work, I'll disassemble and fabricate parts if needed. I love tinkering and researching and understanding how everything works and goes together. This is my Gallardo right now, never done a clutch before but I figured what the hell, it's just a car how hard can it be.

    Can't believe Shamile sold his Testarossa?

    I'll reproduce this part for you, send you the part for free and sell the others on my own, zero cost to you. let me know. I own multiple manufacturing spec 3D printers for my day job and am a manufacturing engineer.

    Jamie--it's a small world, I grew up in Glendora then the USAF took me away. I have a spare passenger side station B and I'd be happy to send you what you need to get this manufactured. Do you just need the housing pieces or also the two sliding pieces that contact the microswitches? You can PM me with what you need and provide an address and I'll get it mailed off Monday. Also, the complete assemblies would have different PNs due to LH & RH orientation but the housing is symmetrical so I can't see how it would need to be any different for the LH side--universal I think.

    Very nice gesture 302tim, but hate to tell you but your B station is broken...exactly where all the rest are.

    The block has two narrow plastic pins that insert into the metal track. That's exactly where they all break leaving the pins inside the track.
