60 Hand Brake Flasher Switch & Clip

[Bob Malone #35242]

Does anyone have a source for the hand brake flasher switch? Also the clip that holds the flasher to the kick panel?

If you are speaking of the switch that attaches to the parking brake rod, the only place I've ever seen thm in a catalog was Chicago Corvette. They were pricey.

Bob, If you are refering to the Tung-sol flasher, I belive that Letric Limited now makes a repro. John

Ed, I am referring to the switch that attaches to the hand brake rod. Like you, the only place I've seen them is in the Chicago Corvette catalog and they wanted $150 for a used one. If I could get my hands on one, I think I could fabricate a workable alternative using a microswitch and clamp.

That's basically all they are. I may be able to send you a digital picture if that would help. The clamping arrangement might be a little difficult to make, though I fabricated the clamp portion of one on a 61 that worked real well. Let me know if the picture would help.
