Rad I believe a TVR adapted one based on a rover type, best to probably get yours re-cored, as some of the hose fittings are different

Not sure on the flasher type, probably depends on what your switchgear comes from , Rover,TR7, or Ford

Rad. in later cars is a modified Range Rover (agree with above - safe way is a re-core)
Flasher - don't know, easy way is to remove and match at a motor factors or H'fords.

As said Rad is CLASIC range rover.

The only mod as far as I can find was to add the crap push fit otter.

So your better off fitting a new clasic, and fitting a newer style otter in the rad or in a hose.

Interesting: ive never found out what the supposed mods were...

In that case, defo agree with Leigh.

The flasher unit is probably a boggo standard unit with 3 pins. One earth, one power, and one that goes to the bulb circuits.

you want one thats for 4*21W + 2*5W bulbs. The 21W are the corner bulbs, and the 5W are the side repeaters.

This will give the correct flash rate.

www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk are a good company to deal with, and have the relays on their site.
