RETURN OF THE TRAFFICATORS

I have a 59 moggy with holes for trafficators so my wife bought me some for our anniversary (I know thats the joy of a moggy if it was a jag im sure she would not be half as supportive ) but can they be wired to work at the same time as indicators and if so how. :roll:

If your moggy is still playing up try a new rotor arm . Some new ones can become unstable with a little heat so the whole thing becomes conductive messing up your spark. Buy the best you can or even better get an origanal part from an autojumble. :)

That mog limo isnt a minor its an oxford and cars of the stars were selling it some time ago But it looked pretty scaby having been left outside and the conversion probably wasnt up to much as it was for film work. Best biuld your own as limos are all about individuality.

I brush paintet my engine bay with just a normal can of cellulose paint . It took several coats but they dry almst instantly and it had to be well degreased first but use a very good brush and the result is suprisingly good with no runs and few brush marks . Simon
