3D Print a Turn Signal Handle for a 1978 FJ40?

[Mike Shull]

Is anyone willing to 3D print me a new handle for my turn signal switch? I’ve had this screwdriver handle on here for 30 years and I am ready to replace it.

I guess I need to get better at searching the web. It looks like Profitts has them.

I was always partial to the screwdriver on your indicator Mike. Don't mess with perfection.

It’s too late! I already ordered it. I will mail you the screwdriver handle.

I'm very fond on my short Huskey vice grip handle. I have used the blade, an other functions it has several times. Prior to that I had threaded the stub and screwed on a tapped 7mm Rem Mag cartridge.

Both seem like cool ideas. I didn’t like that I used heat shrink to attach my screwdriver handle. Perhaps it would have been cleaner to have glued it on. Now I’m thinking that the replacement handle will be too plain. Ha.

You want something heavy enough that when you hit the slightest of bumps it turns your left blinker on for you....

$1800 RTX gauge cluster but don't want to buy a new $150 Toyota turn signal switch?

You have to draw the line somewhere, and the switch still works.

See, I hear the switch still exists, and my brain instantly goes "i don't have a spare one of those"

You had better order two. I might need one in 40 years.

Emailed my parts guy.

Why buy one when you can get two for twice as much!

@Mike Shull FYI, new from the local dealer, $137 for the whole switch

Or $20 for a new handle from Profitts. This needs to be wet sanded and it will work perfectly.

More like a "keeping old junk alive" tax.

It’s an addiction that I can’t seem to explain. The screwdriver handle was fine.

That tax is much less than even just the sales tax on a new Landcruiser...Surely your accountant can see that

 

[Mike Shull]

Pretty cool. No adhesive required, and the money that I saved has already been spent on other things
