54 Ford Sedan turn signal switch...what to use if I have none?

I am finishing up the wiring on the inside of my car and I need a Turn Signal Switch Ford Part No. B5A-13341-A. Both Macs Autoparts and Dennis Carpenter say it is a discontinued item. So... what can I use in lieu of this missing part? I converted my car to 12 volt and replaced the wires, but the switch on the turn signal plate looks kind of thrashed. I am not sure if reusing it will be an option. I am no electronics guy and I have no idea if this is a dumb question to ask.

Any electronic gurus have any ideas?

 

Buy a copy of Hemmings News. Should be able to find someone in there that can fix you up. Needed a replacement last year for my '49 Merc. Called a guy and he said "You want new or used $45 used 65 new." Ordered the new and it even came with the wires to slide in the colulmn.

 

Find a used or N.OS. stock one. It will work fine, they don't know what Volts are.
