Turn Signal housing electrical contacts

[RD911T]

1971 T - My turn signals weren't working when I got the car. When I pulled the housings, the right side was in pieces. I bought a replacement and that fixed the problem. The other side, the housing is fine, but the contacts on the plastic backing are corroded and not salvageable. These are the contacts inside the housing that the bulb gets + voltage from. Is there a rebuild kit for these contacts or a place to go for these internal electrical parts?

I've never heard of a rebuild kit... you need to find a new switch.

Thanks, the switch is fine, the issue is the corroded bulb contacts inside the housings. Thanks.

sorry, misunderstood. Same answer, never seen a kit for those. I have seen where folks will drill out the old socket with a 3/4 or 1" hole saw and replace with a socket you can pick up at NAPA, etc.

That's not a bad idea! I may try that. Thanks!
