I am using the stock Ford wiring harness. It means that I have to replace the modern looking switches with the ones that look vintage. The turn signal had to be replaced. The switch that was provided by Factory Five as part of the kit was a simple toggle. It's supposed to be mounted on the dash. It looks a bit too DIY for me. So I ordered Russ Thompson turn signal. However, Ford's switch is rather complex and the VW part from Ross is very simple. I did not realize how complex it was until I found this ffcars forum link. So I ordered some parts from DigiKey and got to work.
I found a mounting spot just behind the steering wheel. It's perfect size and is accessible from the bottom if I have to replace relays.
Now that replaces the stock turn signal. I can see how Ford is saving money by using their simple switch design.
