I'm looking for a turn signal kit which does not use a radiator hose clamp to mount to the steering column. (1936 Ford). Any help will be appreciated.

You can use one of the kits that MAC's offers. One can be mounted under the dash or behind a kick panel. One mounts to the steering column with a metal strap.

I used the toggle turn switch from American Auto Wire. You can find it on line for about $25. I made a small panel that bolted to the bottom of the dash and bought two 6 volt LED green lights to put in the panel for indicator lights. I bought the indicator lights on line also. I painted the panel the same color as the dash and it's barely noticeable. I made the panel so I could use existing holes in the dash and not have to drill new ones.

My original style 1934 Ford Turn signals (Not attached with hose clamps) are still attached to my left arm. Although some modern day drivers think I'm shooting them a bird or pointing out some interesting roadside attraction. 1934 Ford's since 1972 This message was edited by 1934 Ford on 11-12-18 @ 5:22 AM

Using "original style" turn signals is a recipe for disaster in this era of LED-intensity lights, universal turn signal lights and distracted drivers. Most drivers do not know what a hand turn signal is, and have never been educated about them. The hand turn signal also removes your hand from the steering wheel and reduces the driver's control to the level of an eagerly texting millennial. trjford8's solution can be installed without destroying or permanently altering anything - and can be un-installed if the purist insists on showing the car without the turn signals. (Turn signals are a SAFETY item and are not a cause for point reduction.)

Is this a turn signal switch?

It appears to be turn switch with the two indicator lights. The only real way to tell is to see where the wires go.

Actually, I have electric turn signals and a 3rd Brake Light on my 34 and use both the hand signals and the electric ones. You are right, today's drivers don't pay much attention and I don't want to get hit. 1934 Ford's since 1972
