Side flasher

[Vauxste]

Hi guys

I need a square wing side flasher for my wedge. Have done a search and can't find one.Any ideas were I can get one.

Ford?

May well have been Ford Fiesta, as several other bits on the Wedge are from it.

Ford Orion too.

I found they are difficult to retain in the 'ole especially if they are from a different Ford. So I came up with an ingenious technique.

Wrap some bubble wrap around the "shaft" of the lamp holder, the bit that pokes back into the body. Add enough to make an interference fit with the hole, and tie wrap it to the shaft.

Then push the lamp into the hole, the bubble wrap will push back up the shaft a bit towards the lens but never mind, if any sticks out then poke it in with a screwdriver. The lens will be held in place pretty firm, but if you need to get it out, you can pull it out reasonably easily.

Sounds like standard TVR method too me

A bit of sensible advice....Don't pull the bulb holder too hard....especially the O/S...

Ordered some bay ones as per Keith's link. Will let you know how I get on. Bubble wrap or no nails lol.

My O/S one is quite nicely held in place by Blue Tac! It has resisted weathering, low temp, high temp, washing and wind rushing past at oodles of mph so far!!

I wonder - chewing gum might work too. That stuff is effing hard to get off, once stuck on.

Hi Paul

I sent an email to you via here and heard nothing so thought I had better order some from the bay which have arrived. Sorry and many thanks for your help.
