My '53 TD/23383 is December, 1952(?) with the flasher unit on the right hand
horn bracket as you describe. My '54 TF/1681 is November, 1953(?) and has
as I remember, the flasher on the left side end of the tool box in the
engine compartment. The TD has original now brittle wiring. The TF has 12
year old Moss vinyl covered wiring. Both looms have green, black and
whatever wires to the flasher units as if the flashers are where they
belong.

Subject: Flasher Location
What is the proper location of the flasher unit (tungsol device,
not relay) on a late TD, i.e. March 53.
The one on my car is attached to the upper bolt which is holding
the horn to its bracket. When I got the car, it seemed mostly in
in original condition with few changes. I no longer have the
original flasher on the car so I can't check the date on it to
see if it may have been original to the car. I have read that the
flasher goes inside the car: attached to the battery box next to
the relay. I can't imagine anyone going to the trouble of fishing
the leads back through the scuttle (firewall) grommet just to
place the unit on the engine side.
Thanks.
