http://www.shakerhood.com (Ben Snobar) sells excellent reproductions

Moparts member stwheels does a fantastic job restoring wheels - perhaps he can chime in with some install tips for you

The Ford switches have a raised rib on the surface of the rubber, the Chrysler ones are smooth.

IIRC Ben is having both styles made and the Chrysler ones are excellent.

He also has the little grey wires that connect to the steering hub as well

We have the new rimblow switches in stock as well as anything you need for the rimblow wheels. Difficulty on the installation depends on the installer. We can sell you a new switch and guarantee it to work but only if I install it. The switches are very delicate and easy to damage during installation.

Buy a new rimblow switch and pigtail from me and I'll install it for free.

See my website for details, prices or feel free to contact me anytime.
