Yes, it is simply a case of making a connection to operate the trafficators. And breaking the connection again to turn the trafficators off. A two way switch would do the job fine. Maybe fit it under the dash?

The bottom two appear identical - and are both Lucas L488! And at 50p cheaper than the top one I would go for either of them
Although the top one appears slightly darker glass but that might just be down to the photographs?

An oldie, but good one and still appropriate - SNAFU

And ditto - well said, 'geobernie'.......idiotic, cavalier drivers are far more dangerous than properly adjusted Morris Minor drum brakes. Disc brakes on moderns have not prevented the hundreds of thousands of annual car crashes on our roads, rural or otherwise. I've never crashed into a car in fron...

We like easy fixes!

Ignition on, first check you have 12v to the coil. If so, remove the lead to the dizzy at the dizzy and check you have 12v there. If so, suspect a fault in the dizzy. Check the 'pigtail' lead is robust and connected up properly. Carefully clean the points with very fine abrasive paper and check the ...

Well done - result!

Or work the price into the sale....but that means stating it needs a new loom when you try and sell the car. I'm still not sure it 'needs' a new loom but from a distance I can't know......

Old Morris Minor wreck went into the crusher. The horn sounded one last note as it died - A flat minor!

Car Airbag Simulator.... what???

Hang on to it - if someone else gets hold of it they may 'upgrade' it to a digital one!

If it is old and leaking you might just as well get the full rebuild kit with all the gaskets, seals etc. and make, effectively, a new pump. Something like this, although currently out of stock: https://www.morrisminorcentrebham.co.uk/product/category/15/fuel-pump-repair-kit%3A--803cc%2C-948cc%2C-10...

I have the old type tap and leave it open all year round, so the pipe connector would be fine with me. There is a school of thought that leaving the tap open gives better cooling at the rear of the engine and may be better for the heater matrix. My tap did leak a while back but I overhauled it and i...

My experience of Minors is limited to my SII and I've always understood the pedal spacing is a little better on the latter cars, but could the 'cranked' brake pedal have been done because a previous owner had big feet that fouled the standard pedal spacing? Or did his big, heavy feet actually bend ...

Assuming you have tried all the suggestions made in this post, I would question if the coil and rotor arm really are OK (I have known rotors to look good but periodically fail). If you can, try a new rotor arm and a good known coil. It might be worth trying a different condensor as some modern ones ...

All I can say is that, in the past, I have run tubeless on standard Minor wheels for years without issue. But for no real reason, for the last 20 years I have been running tyres with inner tubes on standard wheels and the only problem I have had is I had a spate of tubes failing where they were rubb...

Does sound as if the head gasket may have gone between 1 and 2. May as well lift the head for a look.

Have a look under the back seat - you might find one of Ena's hairnets!

Just for laughs now....a while ago I was out in the country in my 1955 Moggie and I stopped by the side of a quiet road to adjust the carb slightly when, to my surprise, a veritable parade of pre-war Austins came trundling past. The driver of the last car stopped and kindly asked me if I needed any ...

He he, well that is interesting as it suggests the interval between the two horns is a minor third. Of course, some of the 'scariest' horn sounds are some of those found on American locomotives - real banshee wails!
