Hi Rick,
I see both new and used on fleabay now and then.

Here’s a NOS take off salvaged from a harness: https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/produc ... ctor-plug/

Here's a new one: https://eriksmilitarysurplus.com/elcocplfor3l.html

Just my 2-cents, but you're probably in for less pain by using the NOS or new connector.
The old ones can be quite crusty with brittle rubber and corrosion that will put up a fight.

Hope this helps.

Sorry Rick. I should read more carefully.
You said turn signal switch (and I wrongly read light switch)

Here's a new mil connector for the turn signal switch: https://eriksmilitarysurplus.com/comsfortusis.html

I believe Erik also stocks the mil connector for the flasher.

Apology for my error!

Rick,

It helps to ID your turn signal switch. The Army had an early & late kit and we have several civilian kits that can be adapted.

I guess Rick got what he needed.
