Default Right Turn Signal Inop

Good Morning. I'm one of few who has the right turn signal inop because of the broken plastic/metal bit on the turn signal switch. Just wondered if anyone has gone another route by adding
an external rocker switch to use as the left/right turns instead of the original switch/stalk/handle. Even when I watch the youtube videos on getting deep into the steering column, I get intimidated.
Would greatly appreciate anyone who knows what wires to find and use for such an external left/right turn signal switch.

Agreed replacement is easy, finding the replacement is a bit more challenging. I know I have a couple spares

Default Completed Repair

I had time to repair the issue relating to "no right turn signal". After a good youtube video from an Aussie, I was able to get right into it. I was unable to find the exact part needed online, so I used JB Weld for plastic and just gooped the glue on enough for a stable bond, keeping the top of it clear for the metal nodule that passes thru the narrow channel. That is, bonding the half inch or so arched piece that affixes to the larger part connected to the stalk. I also fixed a longtime problem of no high beams. The high beam switch adjust screws in the slots were too difficult to reach, so I placed a black faucet washer or the like onto the round area where the metal rod touches and crazy glued for a little insurance. It took a couple of weeks of working on it after my day job and other things, nice to have a second car no doubt. Thank you for confidence in me.
