"Olde Skool" update

[kaptnkaos]

I finally located, a new in the package, turn signal switch for "Olde Skool".
It has been purchased and should ship out tomorrow ... yes !!!

If anyone needs a connection for switches try these guys:

Their web page isn't working right, but their contact info is there.

I called them and they had me send a couple of pictures of my switch. They contacted me the next day with the part number...

No Problem ...

Now, I gotta check to see if I'm getting power to the switch.
The only thing I could actually find wrong with the old switch was the button for the four way flasher was broken off. Using a small screw driver, I could still click the switch on and off.
I was going to just reinstall it if I couldn't find a new one.
The unreplacable brushes were nearly worn down to the springs.
I was just gonna by-pass the flasher button and wire in a pull switch from a bump truck. That would have gotten me by until the brushes went out.
I'm not sure but I think the brushes are for the horn?... I think that could been by-passed and a push-release button used for the horn.
I did that on a '68 GTO...
I had a starter button and horn button hidden in the console.
good ole' american injun-eering...
