No brake lights 70 cuda

[Bpret]

Need some help. I have a 70 cuda 340 3spd convertible with no brake lights. I traced it to a bad turn signal switch. I had no idea the brake lights went through the turn signal switch. My question is can the original be repaired or just replace it. If replacement,anyone have a good source and are they all the same (years) trying to get it right the first time.
Thanks Brian

Try Napa auto parts.   
They seem to have everything that the other places don't.

You could get one through the Chrysler dealer a few years ago as well. Much better quality I think.

Thanks I'll try a dealer. Some of the aftermarket ones don't look right. The flasher knob is different

[Bpret]

Looking on line most repos don't have a very accurate looking flasher knob. Has anyone purchased one that looks correct. If so who has them.

Nobody has the correct looking 1970 flasher knob. You can change the knob by drilling out rivets etc..., or modify the new knob to fit.

Alan thanks for the reply. Do you know if they can be repaired

Unless you know for certain, I would be surprised if you had an original turn signal switch.  It is not worth fixing, just get a new one.  Napa has them in stock usually.

To the best of my knowledge NAPA does not have one that fits a 1970 column without modifications.. If they do I certainly would like to know the part number

It may just be the contacts inside the switch.....I've never had one apart, that's @Cuda Cody 's department.

With mods to the switch or column for mounting?

The black knob is too wide on the new switches. It needs to be filed down....I was filing out the columns until some smart assed kid told me his much easier way.

@Bpret  check this video out around the 24:14 mark....

Standard TW7 is the part # same part Mopar sells for 8x the cost but the flasher button is bigger , you can trim the back of the button so it fits properly but it is not 100% right
The power to the brake light goes through the turn switch so the light can be interupted as it uses the same bulb

Too bad you cant fix the original 

[Bpret]

The shame of it is it looks great and it's an original. I'm looking into it but ordered a new one for now to get the car back on the road
