Electronic Flasher units:
 
The old mini units have a metal moving part that breaks after a short time, todays cheap ones are even worse.The new type are electronic so last for years.

To upgrade you need two electronic type flasher units found in modern cars and can be had for about £1 at a scrap yard!

The units im using are from a 90s Ford Fiesta :



You can use other makes but the fords are common and work well.


You will notice the new units have 3 pins and the mini wiring loom has only 2 pins, to wire the three pin units in is very simple the third pin just goes to earth:

Would these replace the thingy behind the clocks? Do the two get wired up in parrallel?
