C1 1959 hand brake switch and flasher

[Rob M.]

I'm looking for replacements for the hand break switch, bracket and flasher. Does anyone know where to purchase these (replacement) parts ? Please include link or e-mail address of the vendor/supplier.

Re: C1 1959 hand brake switch and flasher

I know of no replacements for this switch. It is simply a microswitch with a button on the bottom that is released when the ebrake handle is pulled out and makes the circuit. You can bypass teh flasher circuit by using a flashing bulb as was used on the 61-62's. Original switches and brackets are available, but pricey. If you can get a NO microswitch from an electrical supplier, you can probably fabricate some sort of bracket to hold it.
