Where to buy new turn signal switch for '68 Charger...?

I've attached a photo and linked to a short video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPlKWS9pChU) detailing my problem. A left turn signal locks the switch arm properly in place, while a right turn signal does not. In the photo and video you can see the plastic material that sheared off (at the bottom of the steering wheel ring) and now does not "catch" and hold the turn switch arm in place. I see that MegaParts (http://www.megapartsusa.com/proddetail.asp?prod=114-250087) has what I think is the correct part. Opinions?  :scratchchin:

I guess I'll answer my own question.  :icon_smile_big:   RockAuto http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php also has the item in question, and it looks similar to the item MegaParts has. I've attached a photo.

Not too bad at $12.51 for the item (DORMAN Part # 49305). Now, has anyone used this replacement part?

I did buy a repro signal cam from a US seller at one stage but it didnt fit or work properly.
However, a Mopar friend here in Oz just happened to have the correct one I needed. He said the one supplied to me was for later models, so he swapped the new one with his correct one.

What he gave me was a Borg Warner part number DR-4 signal repair kit.
Try looking for one if they're still available as it fits perfectly and works :)
Gotta love a '69

I'm to the point of just buying a whole new signal switch and harness....

Try http://www.megapartsusa.com/proddetail.asp?prod=114-190080. I installed their harness in my '68 and it seems to be working just fine.
