Title: Turn signal cam
Post by: Jim Yergin on December 17, 2010, 09:56:50 AM
Does anyone know where I might find the turn signal cam that fits on the underside of the steering wheel and actuates the turn signal switch? I have a '41 P12 but I think the same part was used on other years and in Chryslers, Desotos and Dodges. The parts book identifies it as Part #866923 "Directional Signal Lamp Switch Release Fing'r"
Thanks.

Yes, I did. No luck.

John Mesloh at T&C Restorations (http://www.tncrestorations.com/) was nice enough to help me out on this. Yesterday I received this in the mail.

Hi Jim - This is off topic but I was wondering if you still have your 1941 Plymouth P12? I ask because I have a 1941 Plymouth P11 without the turn signal option and I would like to add aftermarket turn signals. In researching what will be required, I noticed that the factory-installed turn signals had a separate single-contact bulb (21 candle power/#1129 bulb) in addition to the single-contact parking light bulb (1-1/2 candle power/#55 bulb) and also a different lens and gasket for the front turn signals.  Any chance you could shoot me several pics of your optional front turn signals and/or a description of their differences from the standard front parking lights? I sure would appreciate any info you can relay.  Thanks very much.
