My turn signal has been going down hill for quite a while because of 
wear on the plastic piece.  This summer I picked up a Hilman turn signal 
at a flea market.  It was cheaper than the repair kits and looked the 
same.  It even has the headlight flash feature.  The only problem is 
that the mounting bracket is made for a steering column with a smaller 
diameter than my Series V.  I couldn't figure out how to separate the 
bracket from the rest of the unit or how I could attach it to my old 
bracket.  But, I figure that there must be a way, because isn't the 
repair kit just a new plastic piece?  I guess I could cut out the 
bracket with a hack saw or something, but I bet there's an easier way.  
Has anyone dealt with this?  Many thanks in advance.
