'83 Turn Signal options

Post by degilliland36 »

Hey Everyone,
After a 2 year search I've about given up on finding a replacement turn signal/wiper switch for my '83. Is there anything else I can do? Put a generic switch on the dash or use another make/model/manufacturer?
Thanks,
Dan

It is but I've heard they are a bear to put in because the wiring doesn't match up. I only broke one of the stocks but glueing it back on doesn't work.

If enough of the stalk is left you could just slide a piece of hard plastic tubing over the broken end sticking out of the column and insert the broken off end of the stalk into it.

Don't have enough to do that (wish I did). Broke at end and was epoxy glued back together and that broke.

Could somebody fabricate a new stalk for me?

I change mine. Maybe you can use it to fix yours

Orford,
PM me or send me an email at degilliland36@gmail.com and we can work out the details if you want to sell your old switch.
Thanks,

I've used the autoricambi switches and they work fine. As I recall the only difference is the light switch on top of the column is eliminated
