Can any of you post pictures of how you mounted the donor car turn signal switch in your car?
Also, any other ideas on turn signal switch installation would be appreciated.

I have the mid-shift location on a TKO600, which means that I can reach out with my right hand on the shifter and reach the dash, so I put the switch right there. It's taking a little time getting used to signaling with my right hand, but that's just habit. The tougher part is remembering to shut of the signal. Don't want to be that guy in the cool car driving around with the turn signal on forever! I can post a picture later if you need, just not where I can get to it now. Let me know if you need the picture.

I believe that Russ Thompson's turn signal setup (http://www.norcal-cobras.com/store/russ_garage/t65/t65tss.html) could also work for you.

2nd for Russ Thompson turn signal set up - easy to install, is made for the FFR roadster, looks great and is very functional.

I mounted mounted the Mustang turn single switch just above my left knee on the 2X2 horizontal frame. I shortened the "stock" to about 3 inches and put a chair rubber foot cup over it. I could actually move the turn signal with my knee.

I followed the manual procedure for the mustang mod on the turn signal. After rewelding the end on to the stalk and mounting it, it looked and operated machanically very well. However, when I started wiring it, I found the switch circuitry does not have a brake circuit so that would have had to be added or change my wiring plan for the rear (brakes and running lights on both lights). So I ended up buying a turn signal from AAW same company as the wiring harness. It is a toggle on the left curved side of the dash. You can barely see it. I will add a digital cancelling device later. I like R Thompsons setup. It is very finished looking and I hear reliable (all good stuff). For me though, it's more the look of the "gentleman's sportscar" than the race car interior look which I like better. Good luck, WEK.

I bought Russ Thompson's modification. I have not installed it yet, but it looks great and Russ is very responsive and easy to work with.
