indicators

Post by **Willie** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 5:26 pm

Those 'yuccy orange blobs' are authentic period fittings which
were widely used when it became the norm to have flashing
indicators. If you don't want to make holes in the body then
mount them on the bumper irons or similar. To rely on the
original semaphore indicators is ridiculous. You will be an
accident waiting to happen.

Hi Willie,
Thanks for the message...I really don't want to rely on the trafficators...I've only had the car a little over a week and already I am careful which roads I drive on...so the sooner I get it sorted the better and free-er I will be...

You can see how beautiful those blobs look (urgh)on my signature picture. They are already there, and I am not replacing perfectly good wings for that.....

You should pop along to your local branch I am sure you will be able to see the different options and then decide whats best for you, or wait until you go to a Rally.

im shore that the tuv (german mot ) will make you keep them when i was stationed out there near Hamburg i had a A reg cavailer which did not have rear seat belts. it was made before thay came to law to be fitted i still had to get some fitted by an dealer .
a frend had a old Austin which hould have the traffictors and in the 80s he was made to change them put extra indecators on ,but every country has diffrent laws about it.

Each country has it's own laws and therefore "it was made before thay came to law to be fitted" is only relevant in the country where it was first sold. German law probably required rear belts at that time.

The german TUV is among the strictest of all MOT like. We have got thye same rule here, original equipment is all you need ( evn though, the veterans, like A fords, need indicators, cause they never had them as standard) Also the brakes are another story, but this not the right thread for those
