Hi,
Partsnmore.com has stock looking turn signals at very reasonable prices. You'll find even cheaper units on eBay.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Turn Signal Mounting
Turn Signal Mounting
When I brought my T-model home the signals were all droopy. Thinking the rubber cushions were shot, I ordered OEM replacements from PartShark. What I found, on disassembly was that there is a plastic spacer that fits into the cushion. The spacer has a flange that was broken on all the signals preventing them from snugging up true. The spacers are less then $3 USD each.

Hi,
Well, I am certainly NOT infallable. I was just thinking, "How do you repair 'rotten'?" I'm pretty sure one or two members may even have some spares in their garage for sale. Check the Parts For Sale and post in the Parts Wanted sections. The $3 spacer fix might work too, depending on how "rotten" the blinker stalks are.

Yeah the signal light sockets seem to be made of super crappy steel thinly coated with chromate colouring.
The springs also rust like a bastard.
Evapo Rust is the miracle of all such things.
