MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Indicators

Ref my posting of 27th July

I replaced the indicator unit as suggested, and then relocated the unit to the cockpit side of the bulkhead but found it was still too quiet.

I then added the Maplin buzzer FK82, which I tie wrapped to the speedo cable, and connected as described in the Safety Fast article and now its audible.

Thanks for all the suggestions etc

Do you have or could you reproduce the article please?

Thanks

I did the same mod as well. For some reason I found it easier to do then to buy a new indicator switch which could self cancel. I can post the data later today if necessary.

Yes please. As I now have for pricely sum of £1.99, an FK82 buzzer sitting on my desk. That's the problem with having a branch of Maplins 50 yeards from my office.

Why go for just a buzzer.
Someone must sell Macaw Squawks, Hyena Laughs or Mating Elephant trumpeting

Gary,

Must be the easiest mod to improve a midget.

Safety Fast article attached hopefully!

Oh Blimey that is easy. Let's see if I can muck it up.

Many thanks,

The buzzer is installed and working fine (although it's a very naff sound in my opinion).
The wiring in my car was obviously put in by a baboon who used whatever wire he had laying around at the time.
The wire to B is GREEN!, the wire from N is GREEN and the wire to the dash light is.......you guessed it, GREEN. luckily my flasher unit has a schematic on the side.
