Flashing indicators: The 401 I bought recently was rewired in about 1994. It has semaphores in use, but luckily for me I find a couple of unused wires in the boot, 4 coiled up under the dash and so suspect I'll find 2 more in the engine bay. It looks as though whoever made up the loom anticipated a desire for indicators. I plan to leave the semaphors as they are, and to use these wires to rig up a completely separate indicator switch, lights and flasher unit. As yet I don't know how & its far down my in-tray. But I have bought a brown period bakelite indicator switch, which is a start! Also a landrover series 2 indicator arm which looks the right period and has a wheel, so if clamped to touch the steering column it will self cancel ... nice in theory.
