softening clicks of earlier indicator canceling mechanics

in older (ce2) mk2's, there probably are other parts
regarding the indicator lever and mechanics. true ?

they feel more flimsy,
they do not lock during certain steering wheel positions
and the clicking sound,
while turning the steering wheel over the point,
is comparably loud, sharp and crisp
and does certainly hurt some ears.

which parts could be modified or exchanged
to make driving more enjoyable, there ?

Reply #2 –
while fixing the dashboard, i already had it apart on another mk2.
the plugs have been a bit sticky, however.

has anyone done the heater box without taking out the dashboard
(it could be in the pictures, but since there are many, i'm not shy to ask) ?

if there is something, which would make me take out the dashboard for this endevour,
i would have it apart some point anyway.

but as it looks like, i could do it independently,
as soon i have the car off the road for some time.

i have the hazard warning light ontop of the steering wheel,
but, as i mentioned, the levers feel flimsier
and have a crisp behavior compared to our still newer mk2's.

to me, the crispness does not feel surprising,
but just like the mechanics of an old version of this levers.
maybe something i had on a past (ce1) mk2, who knows.

which versions of ce2-levers are there ?

it does not feel like there would be much to clean.

as it stands, i'm on the road of exchanging them.
thankfully, they do not seem to be that pricey.

i found something on heritageparts, see below.
the brands are different but the levers look matching.

left lever


right lever


maybe there are cheaper ones. probably on ebay.
a hint would be nice if someone happens to stumble upon them.

is the clicking autocancel-mechanism part of that levers ?
