Turn Signal Switch Kit

[bosborn38pu]

I know there are many good options, but after searching the Ford Barn, I decided to go with http://www.turnswitch.com/Turnsignal.htm. After some initial apprehension about having to run additional wiring, I found the result well worth the effort. I used the toggle switch option and mounted it under the dash - accessible and barely shows. I mounted the control module on the firewall well out of direct view. Everything works quite well and can be removed should I wish to return to the original configuration. An advantage was that I installed the system prior to re-assembly of the front fenders - made access to wiring much easier.

Great system! I run these on both my cars and can’t be happier. I had an issue with the flasher circuit on an older unit and they warrantied it with no questions asked. Fantastic customer service and a great design and setup.

I have the unit on my Fordor, separate wiring also. I especially like the toggle under the dash, very easy to get used to. The beeper function is helpful in case I forget to switch it off....switch off what?.....what's that noise? Great customer service, too.

I have it in my roadster and I like the self cancelling feature.

I also still go with the hand signals only. Purchased a turn signal kit to install in 24 coupe but sold car before i got around to fitting it. Have a 39 coupe and 38 PU both without turn signals and problably will leave it as is, even though have a kit.
hand signals are part of the whole driving experience which i enjoy.

Does that modern knob on the stalk (of the column-mounted switch) unscrew so it can be replaced with something a little older-looking? Thanks

I don't know. I bought the controller and used a momentary dpdt toggle switch under the dash.

To bad the picture doesn't show up in a "quote". Do you know if anyone is still making the signs you showed? I'd like to have one.

Tubman,

I don't believe these signs have ever been commercially available so in a moment of lunacy I decided to make one.....about 50 hrs !

Procedure is straightforward. The backing plate and letters are made from 1/8" aluminium plate. I made the plate first, then the letters. The "S" was quite challenging but got there in the end. When I had made the letters I glued them to the backing plate with 2-pack epoxy adhesive. Any excess that squeezed out was carefully trimmed off before it had set completely. The assembly was then treated to two coats of etching primer (essential for aluminium).

The primer was then removed from the tops of the letters with T-Cut or similar. Being satisfied with the primed finish I then applied the black paint .Once dry the paint was once more removed from the letters. The result was satisfying and somewhat reflected the cast aluminium number plates on the car (UK version). The only maintenance required is the occasional polishing of the letters.

If I were to do another I think the whole process could be speeded up as the first attempt absorbed many hours of head scratching and foul language.

As is often quoted..."necessity is the mother of invention"

Beautiful job there. That could be used as a pattern for a simple sand casting.
