Default 69 turn signal controllers out there?

Hello,
I have a '69 with no arm controllers for turn signals/horn/etc. Does anyone know what I need to be looking for concerning parts that would fit a bike like mine with front drum breaks....maybe a location where I could purchase such a creature?

Right now it is only a start button (right) and high/low beam switch (left).

If I remove the two switches, I would have some room for controllers.

Thank you,
mark

they made a special front drum brake lever perch that had a small 2 wire brake switch built in, i will have to look for the OEM number - usually you can find them at amca SWAP meet

The horn button looks like your start button and the turn signal switch was similar to your high low except it had the center off position. The wires went on the outside of the handlebars. Several companies sell replicas of these switches.

Ok, Johnjzjz took me to a VW Jetta add. Great.
Anyway, I have only found switches that exchanged high/low for turn signals. I have about 2" of room to place a wrap around switch that could then send the wires through the arms with turn/high-low/horn.
Does anyone know where I might find something like that which would work?

Actually, when the clutch lever and front break are actuated, there is only about 1/2 and inch between the lever arm and the handlebars. So, I don't think I can just buy a set of controllers from some other bike and stick them on there...?...yes?

The stock switch is Harley part number 70058-50B, V-Twin has a replica kit (VT-32-1354) Vtwinmfg.com, consisting of the switch, wires and clamps. . It can be screwed to the handlebar or clamped in any position along the bar. I put mine underneath the start button.
