M38 Turn Signal switch

Post by Naugha »

In a very old thread Wes once mentioned,

“You could buy a scrap MWO 9-2300 system and use it's Signalstat switch or a new Signalstat 900 switch with a standard 24 volt civvy flasher hidden in the old junction box and look like a perfect motor pool resto with a stock 1950's system military signal system”

I think there are also pics of the ‘MWO 9-2300 system‘ in the Wes album.

Are there any of these early turn signal kits/units still around even in scrap condition or is this a ‘unicorn part’ that we don’t see any more?

I rarely go to a meet without seeing at least one of the junction boxes. The switch associated with it is a little tough to find, but you dont need that one if you are doing what is proposed.
