Thankyou for your view.
I see that you have not changed the tone of your posts. Clowns - well enough said.
I understand perfectly well what Digger is saying, he makes a very good point and I certainly respect his point of view.

How very presumptuous of you:mad: You hold us Eastern staters in such high regard. I'm glad not all Southern staters are like you.Quote:

OK people, lets all cool off a bit and
get back to the topic of series 1's!
(something we all love!)
As to indicators - is there a usual indicator switch?
ie: magnatex? or switch on steering centre?
I am assuming something like magnatex for older s1's as
they are aftermarket. Are there many others and what
would they have looked like?
Hella made a few. I had one of these on my 80"

A few series ones i have wrecked had this type mounted in various locations

on the top of the horn arm on my series 1 there is a series of holes so I am assuming that someone, at some stage, added a top plate to the horn arm. I though think that a switch such as this off the end of the horn arm would work although proabably in danger of being broken easily, and am unsure how authentic looking it would be.Quote:

Probably wouldn't look authentic at all seeing as early series didn't come fitted with indicators They had semaphore things and were fitted with a toggle switch on the dash or windscreen....
I have been looking through the catalogue from this business
Car Builder Solutions Ltd. Kit car parts. Spares and accessories for the car builder enthusiast.
They have a "period" type indicator switch, which might be suitable. For me the solution of where to put it on an 80" is the biggest hurdle,
Cheers Charlie
You are correct but when they were fitted how authentic to that can I get it?...Quote:

I like the other indicator arm BUT it would have to be cocked off the wrong side of the steering column for my liking! :)
Thanks

Ill hook a trailer up and start headed your way, You put that pesky 80 (and all the bits) in the front yard and Ill get rid of the pesky thing for you!! :twisted:
(on page 37 of that catalogue is some flexible fuel hose that is probably the best solution I have seen to the left hand fuel tank filer problem we have with the series 2/2a ex mils!... lots of good stuff!)
