Turn signal switch, 1950 F3
Hi guys, does enyone rebuild OEM turn signal switchs? Or does anyone have parts for them? I would really like to keep the original with wheel for the return to off. It doesn't look like the new aftermarket have that. Maybe that doesn't work anyway. Any suggestions.

What is wrong with your original switch? They have adjustments and lots of places that need a little lube. I have rebuilt several, usually starting with soldering new wires on the switch board. I assume you are talking about the sxts switch?

The other issue is the rubbber on the wheel looks pretty hard and weather checked. I don't know if it will grip like it needs to or not. Finally, it needs to be rewired but I can handle that. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

You might check your local hardware store for a spring. Most Ace stores have a good variety of springs . You might be able to use an O ring to replace the rubber?

Re: Turn signal switch, 1950 F3
Does anyone have any photos of what the turn signal switch should look like on the inside? Especially the little spring that is part of the self canceling mechanism. My spring is broken and I can't see what it originally looked like. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And/or if anyone has one they are willing to sell I would be interested.

I finally took some pictures. At least now I know it was made by Du-Ray Lamp Co.
