TR2/3/3A Replacement Turn Signal Switch

[TR3-Stu]

I replaced my steering box with a rack and pinion steering kit and therefore lost my original turn signal switch functionality. I did a search for suggested solutions, but wasn't able to find a clean design. I saw a very neat setup at the 2023 British Invasion in Stowe Vermont on a beautiful TR3A from Leominister, MA. It was a black add-on turn signal switch mounted on the left side of the steering column - a subtle but useful alternative to the original (in their case they had replaced the steering wheel with a wood rimmed design). Is anyone familiar with the type of switch I'm referring to, and potentially where I could purchase one?
Thanks,
Stu (TR3A TS78330)

It sounds very much like the owner may have used a TR4 column and steering shaft.

Thanks for the response Charley. The TR3A I saw in Stowe had a turn signal unit that was an add on to the original TR3 steering column. Even though it was a bold on (or clamp on) addition, it was a very neat and clean setup. I'll try to send a pic.

Not the only one out there, but the one I've seen most recently:

Vintage Auto Garage Turn Signal Switch

I like that it includes a 4-way hazard flasher function. None of the add-on switches I've used had that.

Thanks for the response and the link. I'll take a look at their products.
