Hi,
Please can anyone advise the best type of indicator lamps for a Mk 2 Ruby saloon running on 6v ?

Bruce,

I use Rubbolite orange marker lights like this:



You can get them quite reasonably, this place sells them for just over £10 each but some internet hunting will probably reduce your costs: http://www.trailertek.com/cgi-bin/sh000003.pl?WD=lt148&PN=Sider_Marker_Lights%2ehtml#aLT148

Scroll down until you get to "Rubbolite button side marker Model M50 Ref: LT148"

I use the trafficator switch on the steering wheel (it self-cancels) with either an electronic flasher and 6V LED bulbs or the mechanical (?) type flasher and 6v 21w bulbs - both work well in my experience.

Good evening Ruairidh. Where do you source your 6v electronic flasher unit from please? I'm working on a project which requires an electronic flasher unit to drive a separate relay.

Hi Stuart,

I bought my electronic one from Peter at Classic Dynamo: http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com

Thanks Ruairidh, I am hoping to see him at Wollaton.

I fitted flashing LED bulbs to my semaphore indicators. They seem to be much less invisible to younger drivers than when fitted with standard bulbs.

John, that's correct, you don't need a flasher unit, and the semaphore units don't flap up and down. You just take out the standard bulbs and replace them with the flashing ones.
Here's the website where I found them:

I'll be at Wollaton Stuart with good stocks of 6v flasher units, flashing trafficator bulbs and my new Double Dipper dipping headlamp bulbs. BA15d, BA20d, BPF and APF fittings. Negative and positive earth variants.
