Trafficators or Turn Signals?

Post by **Steve-B** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 3:10 am

[color=darkblue:6a870b522e][/color:6a870b522e][/size:6a870b522e] I have just purchased a 1959 Morris Minor Traveller #696075. It is being shipped to me so I will not receive it for another week or two. This car was exported to the US and has LHD. I know that the turn signal handle is absent.

Was this Morris built with trafficators or turn signals in the running lights? Will the horn switch be the the middle of the steering wheel? If it was built with trafficators how can one change it so that modern turn signals will work? Which turn signal assembly should I buy to replace the damaged one on the steering column now?

1959 should have trafficators if it was in the UK, but I beleive that in the US these were not legal and probably had flashing indicators fitted in the sidelamps, and flashing rear taillamps combined with indicators

As far as parts go try either Bull Motif or ESM. You will be able to buy a new indicator assembly from them. If the car's trafficators have been removed all that will be needed will be a "marriage service" from old to new part. If the trafficators are still working then the wiring will need a bit more work. Come back to us when you've decided and someone will help with any more questions you may have. Dont forget to send us more pictures when the car is home.
