Owing to safety issure,s I want to install a 6 volt turn signal to my 41 coupe.  I think I need a seven wire one, is that right?  Any recomendation of a brand? Would any one have  a scmatic for inastalling one that they could share with me?  Any information and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Charlie

Yes you will want a 7 wire switch, I have 4 cars I have installed turn signals on. I bought from the Filling Station or Chevys of the 40’s. Get the better one that has the indicator on  the housing, they come with good instructions, but I wired mine through the ignition switch. They will show it to be wired so the 4 way flashers will work with the key off, but you could also forget to turn the turn signals off. Don’t remember the brand. All of mine I changed the socket in the park lights to use the 1154 bulb.

Dennis,

Thanks for the reply. I'll check out both those sources and see what they offer as well check out eBay.  I have a couple of the factory ones but they are for the next generation of about 42-50 or so.  Number 600 and another diget like maybe something between2 and 6 I think. I may try to install one of them if I can find the inructions and/or a scmatic.  If not, I'll sell them because I want need them.

Have you noted the asking price of the original 1940-41 turn signals for sale on eBay.  Over 6 grand.  More than my car's worth.  Well amost. Wonder if the seller would be interested in a set of 41 fender skirts with the short pieces that go between the skirts and the rocker moldings.  Might even throw in the spinner steering wheel. I don't like it anyway.That's too much for the 41 coupe. I have the original signals on the 41 cabirolet.  Oh well.  Thanks again,  Charlie
