I’m on Long Island in dire need of some turn signal switch parts for a 73 fj40. In particular, the tiny tiny springs at the base of the signal lever this is on the 40 I built for my daughter as a graduation gift. I brought it out to her from Iowa a few months ago. Since then she’s had a major brain surgery to remove a tumor. She loves this little truck and even though she can’t drive it she can ride in it. Long story short, she and a friend got caught in a rain storm a while back and it got soaked inside. The turn signals stopped working and trying to rebuild the switch mechanism. Time sensitive since I’m leaving tomorrow evening. Is there any cruiser heads in this neck of the woods? We’re in Roslyn.

To be more specific, I need the tiny contact springs in the mechanism st the base of the turn signal lever.

I don't recall exactly how big those springs are right off the top of my head...do you have a pic of one? or about how big it needs to be?
In the meantime, look inside retractable ball point pens for little springs
 
Good thought. I thought of that too. About 2x too big. They are very small. Thanks though 👍🏼
OK, got a zippo lighter? Maybe break open a bic lighter?
