ahh no Dave, i'm talking about these guys... http://www.stinkysam.com/images/parts/182_1.JPG having it original is just to keep from having to mess with the wiring and have flashers and relays hanging all over, and so it gives a good fit i guess. if you saw my 65 you'd wonder why i was anal about the flasher, when there's still holes in the floor ;) -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk> > Whatever turns you on I suppose - aside from cleaning the relay points carefully > and checking for obvious bad connections, are they really expensive enough to > bother?
