Default Blinder bracket missing.

Hello. April 1956 Corvette.

Please advise availability of turn signal blinker bracket, located right of steering tube under dash. Also, looking for emergency brake bracket and flasher.

You'll find those parts at the usual Corvette parts vendors (Corvette Central, Paragon, Zip, etc.); this is not a parts site - it's for information and advice.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and recommendation. Unfortunately these parts are not available aftermarket. I was hoping that an experienced member may know of a source as I am not finding on the internet.

Have a happy new year!

All of those parts are very hard to find. The flasher for the emergency brake is just about extinct, and pretty expensive. You might try Mary Jo Rohner “Vette Gal” on eBay, or David Sokoloski in Ca.

There is replacement/reproduction junk available if you are just wanting functional parts.

Your mid 60's? bracket looks pretty close. This is a pic from the 56-57 Judging manual.

I believe the tung sol 632 flasher that is connected to the link is a 6 volt.
