I need something like this, whatdya think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/121074660891?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Maybe not wrth 17 bucks but that is what it is going to cost you to own it. I think that add on turn signal switches go pretty high most of the time, I would probably drop 17 bucks on it if I needed it.
I bought it, jstanothidiot my father in law owns hanover glass (we dubbed it handover cash) on old irving park, lemme know if ya need something! He's got some connections for auto glass for classics in the city too
well, maybe I'll be looking for you when I get around to replacing the fronts on my 52 haha, you got a sweet ride there!
That looks like the same design as the one I bought from The Hotrod Company on sale last year. http://www.thehotrodcompany.com/shopnow/show_item.asp?product_id=A13310C I think I paid about 18 bucks for it at the time. It looks great but doesn't have provisions for 4 way flashers if you have the need for four way flashers The light on the end of the lever is a great reminder that you have the signals on though. Saves having to put lights in the dash.
I have found that style to be crappy. Mine didn't last but a few years. I used one like this http://automotive-hardware.com/universal-turn-signal-switch-p-292.html and was a lot happier with it. (I didn't buy it there, I just did a quick google to find it.)
Hmm...I've always heard those were junk and that they don't last long. You're best bet would be to dig an old one up at a swap meet. They put gazillions of quality examples on semis and they show up pretty regularly at swaps. I've bought almost every style and never paid more than $15 and that includes the Art Deco lookin ones that sell for $300 on eBay. JohnnyA
Did you offer 17 or spring for the full 17.99? And don't bash it when it's a piece of crap. You get what you pay for.
got a new one at swap meet for 15 from a vendor and also bought two very cool old ones for 5 and 7. They are showing up more now. Check out some swaps first.
I guess im lucky. I live where they still believe in hand signals. No two tail lights on my model a, or ugly front blinkers.... i know i know im gonna for sure cause an accident and possibly kill a Bus full of pregnant nuns. Or even worse!
