What did he convert them to? Actually I don't even really know what it does.


Edit: thanks for the link in the pm. I know know what it does and how it works. I might give mine a good clean and see if that gives it another 40 odd years of life.

Thanks Neil!!

The problem with the originals is they use bimetal strip vibrator technology, similar to how a flasher can works but @ much higher frequency.
Over time the contacts inside get grotty and it doesn't work as originally.

Mine was interesting- the faster I drove, the lower the fuel gauge would read, then when you stopped @ the lights you could see the gauge come back up.
But if I ran it up on stands in the garage at 80 or 90 kmh or more it was fine. :shock: :P It was road/body vibes upsetting it.
So, I fitted a Wombat electronic 10V special and it's been fine ever since.
