Default 1977 Turn Signal Lever Lettering

Can someone in the warm climates (I just finished shoveling my driveway here in Michigan for the last hour!), take a picture of the lettering on the dimmer/wash-wipe/turn signal lever on a 1977 Corvette steering column. It is a one year only part. Also, it would be a real help if you people could supply a picture of the lettering on the T&T lever as well as the lettering on the standard (non-adjustable) lever.

Thank you in advance,

At least the economy in Michigan is so bad, I no longer have to worry about a snowplow coming by and filling the foot of my driveway.

Ganey - can you show/tell me how you moved your wiper function to the dash? This might be good to know if my turn signal lever breaks (knock on wood). No one sells a repro lever for a '77 T&T column...

The 1977 T&T wash/wipe lever is still available.
http://www.zip-corvette.com/ProductDetails/ProductDetails.aspx?pid={07af4a13-ca74-4218-82ff-450b436dc24d}&gid={22c9b1f5-2f38-4f92-956b-acbcde9be3f9}&GroupName=Turn+Signal+Comp onents&pname=77+Steering+Column+Wiper%2f Washer+Lever&Referer=&Alias=&ptct=SGR-SR&CTitle=&
At least it is still listed on the Zip website. Only $19.50.
The lettering on the lever is not identical to the original however.

The Corvette 77 wiper wiring has a connector that allows disconnect from the switch wiring in column. I used a 2 speed wiper switch w/ wash & installed at bottom left of dash near the factory connector. Easy.

That looks similar to the Eckler's lever I bought back in 2009 as a spare. Note the differences below, not only in the lettering, but the "nubs" that control the wiper function are on the opposite sides. The wipers won't work with the aftermarket lever. Looks like an opportunity for a vendor...
