Turn Signals

Post by gak1047 »

My turn signals are looking pretty ratty. Any suggestions on where I can find replacement one that look original?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Greg - if your signals can't be brought back with the usual methods of treating/polishing, then paint them. Perfectly acceptable and they'll look good for a long time. There are reproduction bodies and complete signals available also.
http://www.timscbx.com/ADDITION%20PICS% ... %20001.jpg TIMS is the only vendor I could find that currently offers reproductions and they are complete signals. David Silver and Six Center used to offer signals and bodies, but I can find no listings either place for either one. So expectedly, the price for the available reproductions has gone up.

Thanks for the reply Dave, They look ok. I have a couple that the plastic is cracking where the lens cover screws thread into them. If I can't find a suitable replacement for them, then I will look into repairing them. They work right now, I noticed the problem when replacing the turn signal bulbs.

Item number 172469548194 on eBay. Are identical but does not have the Stanley and numbers on them. I think these are for the front for running lights.

The picture does show the 3 wires for the front signals but i would still confirm that before ordering.

As Dave mentioned Tims does have the 2 wire signals for the rear.

It's simple to buy the housings and swap the guts from your stockers, presto, 3-wire fronts.

Tims does have them but are considerably more expensive. $125 compared to $80 for the same thing.

OK Gents, do I get a finders fee?? David Silver Spares in the UK has 20+ in stock. They are $30.00 each.
I always check with the UK site as they are cheaper and more parts available than their USA site.
Best,
Phil
