Updating 1942 mb willys jeep

[Little Jo]

Hi Fellow Restorers

I have been restoring my MB Willys Jeep for the last 6 months and am just at the stage where I have to add some modern updates to the Jeep so I can get it registered.

When I purchased the Jeep it had a set of old flashing turning indicators fitted, activated by a HELLA Universal Indicator Switch attached to the steering colum. I have fitted new LED lights to the rear and front of the Jeep, which look rather nice. However after 2 days of frustrating work the switch does not work properly and after taking it to the Auto electrician, I was told is is no good. A new replacement can be obtained for $240.00 which is I believe a bit rich and my finance minister would no doubt have a conorary.

Have any of you restorers out there fitted turning lights to their Jeep and what did you use, where did you purchase a reasonably priced colum switch. I have seen some on the internet in the USA starting at $49.00 but they will not send one to me because of warranty problems with sending to an overeas country.

Can anyone help..
